Who we are and what we
believe
Helping grieving youth

Loss and grief are inevitable. Suffering alone is not.
In just one year, over 203,000 of 7.5 million Canadian children under 18 will experience the death of someone in their extended family.
Almost 40,000 will experience the death of a parent or a sibling who live in their home.
Through our programs, workshops and counselling services, Learning Through Loss (LTL)

"I learned that, with grief, you have to take it one day at a time and learn how to find happiness amid of heartbreak"
-Adrienne C. Moore
The biggest myth is grief and loss are limited to the death of a family member or friend. Grief & loss can come from many different events
-
Parents divorcing, relationship breakup, estrangement
-
Relocating to a new home, school, or neighbourhood
-
Illness, loss of physical or mental health
-
Cultural identity and language loss
-
Any event that causes significant and/or abrupt change
