The death of someone very close may feel overwhelming and impact many aspects of your life. Thanks to generous community support, Victoria Hospice Bereavement Services are available to help you understand grief and adjust to your loss.
Our services include a variety of bereavement support groups, workshops, and grief-related events. Trained volunteers assist with many of our offerings including one to one companioning and other supportive services.
With our team of professional counsellors, we offer up to six no-cost counselling sessions to South Island residents, in-person, or remotely via telephone or virtual sessions. As we are a not-for-profit organization with limited resources, please be aware that there may be a wait to access counselling services. We can also assist you to connect other grief resources in our community and online.
Services are provided at our Community Support Centre. For more information call 250-519-3040.
