We are working towards ensuring that people have the appropriate information and access to bereavement support within their community. In response, we have created the Regional Bereavement Support Line. The intention of this support line is to provide information about supports in your area. If you are anticipating the loss of a loved one or have recently lost a loved one, this support line can connect with you with supports to help you through your grief journey. This line is monitored from 8am to 8pm Mon-Fri. All calls received after hours will be returned on the next business day in order they were left. Please note that this is not a COVID-19 information resource.
