As always we continue to accept phone calls from people interested in our groups. In order to participate in a self help support group you first need to have a one-to-one meeting with a trained volunteer bereavement facilitator. Call the Program Coordinator for further information.

Drop-in Groups will be held during July and August.

We are always as close as your phone

• for initial 1:1 meetings

• to receive phone calls from grieving individuals interested in our loss specific support groups

As we are continually running these groups, the need for supplies is always constant. If you know of someone who could donate items like drinks, craft supplies, paper, labels or envelopes please call the office at 905-898-6265 or email bfoyr_program@bellnet.ca. We thank you for your generosity.

People interested in our Facilitator Training must complete a volunteer application form (more information - Group Facilitator). An interview with a member of the Professional Advisory Committee and a current police record check (vulnerable sector) are part of the screening process. Click here for a Volunteer Application Form. The next Facilitator Training will take place September 2008.
