Grief & Bereavement Support

Grief Coaching for Parents, Guardians and Caregivers

Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice endeavors to support anyone who is grieving all types of losses. We have dedicated drop-in and appointment-based times for both parents and guardians of youth who are grieving and for professionals that have clients who are grieving.

If you work as a teacher, human resource manager, guidance councillor, chaplin or in any position that offers support to youth and adults, our grief coaching can help you help others who are grieving a loss. The grief coaching program aims to provide professionals with a space to discuss specific types of losses your clients may be dealing with and offering methods and strategies that you can learn and then pass on.

Learning how to Help Others is Available the first Thursday of the month from 10 AM – 11 AM
