This 6-week group is dedicated to offering compassion and support to individuals navigating the difficult journey of grieving the loss of a loved one. In this non-judgmental space, we will explore ways to move through the grieving process, strategies to manage the complex emotions associated with loss, and find ways to maintain a meaningful connection with your loved one. Our aim is to foster a healing community where you can find emotional support, connection, validation, and receive education as well as strategies to help you cope with the grieving process.

Join Journey Together: Sharing Our Lived Experiences, a support group for Black and Racialized Students.

Together in sharing our common lived experiences, we draw a collective voice to:
- not feel alone
- process and learn from each other's wisdom
- create a community to uplift and support one another
- empower through collective healing, growth, and transformation
This group will be co-facilitated by two counsellors from Health & Wellness Services who are themselves persons from racialized backgrounds. Once signed up, a group facilitator will contact you to do an individual intake which will provide an opportunity to discuss details of the group more fully.
