If you are old enough to love, you are old enough to grieve. But no one, including children and youth, should have to grieve alone.
Victoria Hospice recognizes the unique ways young people experience grief and loss on National Children’s Grief Awareness Day on November 21.
Support is available at Victoria Hospice for children and teens who are grieving, whether someone in their family is ill or dying, or they are experiencing bereavement. In addition to free counselling, the Child and Youth Counsellor provides a wealth of resources for parents, families, and people who support a child or youth in grief including a three-part podcast, Child and Youth Grief Information for Parents and Caregivers resource booklet, resource lists for books and websites.
Thanks to the support of our donors, Victoria Hospice offers compassionate support though a range of services including volunteer calls, professional counselling, bereavement support groups, memorial events, and information about grief for adults, children and youth. Services are currently available over the phone and online.
Access to bereavement services at Victoria Hospice is open to everyone. No prior connection to hospice or referral is required.
