Skillful, caring and connected grief support & services. For adults, children, families, professionals and organizations.
AWC Grief Support is one of the largest grief therapy practices in Canada, offering therapy, education, and resources to help individuals (adults and children), families, and professionals feel supported, informed, and understood. Our work is grounded in compassion, clinical integrity, and a deep commitment to strengthening grief and death literacy across Canada and beyond.
We are a connected team of therapists located across Ontario. Our skilled clinicians offer therapy in-person (in their local communities) and virtually by phone and video (including to other provinces, where permitted).
All of our therapists are regulated health professionals.
We meet you where you are with skilled, informed guidance for:
• Individuals seeking therapy
• Caregivers navigating grief with kids or teens
• Organizations building literacy or supporting teams after a loss

Interactive virtual learning
Each year, AWC hosts two virtual learning events: Kids Grief Education Day (KGED) in the spring and Adult Grief Education Day (AGED) in the fall. Led by Andrea, Colleen, and other AWC therapists, these interactive sessions combine practical strategies, insightful discussion, and opportunities to ask questions. Recordings are available for 30 days following each event.

Join us for workshops, educational events, and signature programs designed to support individuals and families navigating grief. From professional development opportunities and community learning sessions to the transformative experience of Camp Alex, these gatherings bring people together to learn, connect, and find healthy ways to express and process grief—while also making space for moments of joy and fun.
