AWC works with organizations across Canada and internationally to strengthen grief support and build grief-informed systems. Our team provides education and consulting to schools, health care teams, agencies, and community groups seeking to respond to grief with clarity, compassion, and confidence. Support can range from a focused one-hour consultation to larger, multi-phase projects that help organizations build sustainable, grief-informed practices. Through this work, we help extend grief literacy beyond individual support and into the environments where people learn, work, and receive care.
This national partnership supports individuals living with ALS and their families with compassionate therapeutic support in managing the profound impact of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), including grief therapy, program development, education and resources at no cost to the client.
