This program provides peer support and guidance for teenagers in the Niagara Region who are having some difficulty in coping with the death of a loved family member or friend. Service is provided by trained volunteer facilitators who coordinate an eight week peer support program for teens (age 13 - 19). Topics such as feelings, holidays and special occasions, commemorating and saying goodbye are explained.

Communication is facilitated through a variety of teen-centered activities. Referrals may be made by anyone including teachers, family members, health care professionals, Home Care, clergy, friends or neighbours. Programs are offered twice a year - in the spring and fall. Registration is required. There is no fee for services.
