BEREAVED FAMILIES OF ONTARIO

Bereaved Families of Ontario provides peer support and counseling services to people grieving the loss of a loved one, with a primary office in Mississauga serving the Greater Toronto Area. The organization offers free support groups led by trained volunteers who have themselves experienced significant loss, creating a space where grieving individuals can connect with others who understand their circumstances. They also provide one-on-one peer support, crisis intervention, and resources for those struggling with complicated grief or suicide loss. The groups meet regularly throughout the GTA and cover various types of loss including death by suicide, sudden death, and long-term illness. Bereaved Families of Ontario recognizes that grief is not a problem to be solved but a natural process that benefits from community and understanding.
