Understanding. Compassion. Education.
With more than 25 years of combined experience in the bereavement field as grief support facilitators, end-of-life companions, trainers, grief educators, Program Directors and Board members, we recognized an opportunity to complement our work through a dedicated grief education service.
That vision became Ottawa Grief Care+.
Our mission is to help normalize conversations about grief while providing evidence-informed education and practical tools that empower individuals who are grieving, as well as those supporting others through loss. Through education, we aim to foster greater understanding, compassion, and confidence in navigating the many complexities of grief.
