Grief can be complicated, filled with confusing emotions and lonely moments. Bereaved Families of Ontario wanted to erase the stigma around grief — especially for men, who face pressure from society to not show their emotions. campaignlive.com/article/bereav…
I agree w/you Bronagh Morgan I have suffered some devastating losses where if not for Bereaved Families of Ontario - Southwest Region Bereaved Families of Ontario I’m not sure what I would have done (& it was hard for me to find them). #grief is a touchy but important subject that NEEDS greater availability & funding in #Ontario
Your point Bronagh Morgan is so important! Without a strategy to fund varied, accessible #griefsupport options--like #peersupport--that keep grieving people *who are not ill* OUT of an under-resourced #mentalhealth system, we're reacting to crisis rather than earlier prevention.
Bronagh Morgan There are so many changes needed in the mental healthcare system, such that it is. Grief is certainly something that needs more attention. No, it’s not considered an ‘illness,’ but IT IS MENTAL HEALTH.
We are pleased to partner with ICHM Canada to improve #griefliteracy through this FREE webinar presented by Victoria Hospice’s Marney Thompson. Cc BereavementONNetwork @bfotoronto Bereaved Families of Ontario Canadian Grief Alliance
