The Walking Through Grief Support Group is an 8-week (possibly 9-week) walking support group, open to all adults in the Greater Victoria Community who are bereaved after the death of someone important in their life.

While walking at a relaxed pace in the area near the Chatterton Way Community Support Centre, with the facilitation of a Victoria Hospice Bereavement Counsellor and Bereavement Volunteer, this support group is a way to explore your grief through the movement of walking, being outdoors in nature, and by sharing with and supporting other grievers.
