Vancouver Hospice Society

Pre-register for the next Bereavement Walking Program starting either January 28th or January 31st, 2009.

The Bereavement Walking Program is for those who have suffered the loss of a loved one. It is a time to walk and talk, at a relaxed pace, with others who are grieving; to share ideas and support, and benefit from some fresh air and exercise. Joining in on the walk are trained hospice volunteers. There is no charge to participate.

Greetings from the Vancouver Hospice Society and welcome to our 2008 Fall newsletter. In this issue we will update you on recent activities, current developments, and new directions on the horizon. You will meet two of our incredible volunteers and read about the benefits of VHS programs.

Children's Grief Support Program - Support group for children who have experienced the death of a parent or an important adult

Children who have experienced the death of a parent or an important adult can benefit from a support group of peers. This program will give the children an opportunity to share and heal through creative activity and peer support. At the same time, but in a different room, the parents/guardians will meet to share their stories. Each group is facilitated by professional counsellors and trained volunteers.
