Supporting bereaved families

Published: January 10, 2022

Throughout the course of the pandemic, some children, young people and families experienced the loss of loved ones due to COVID-19 or other causes. Physical distancing restrictions imposed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have made it difficult for people to be present or to physically comfort family members or friends who are ill or dying. Together with Children’s Mental Health Ontario (CMHO), we compiled information and links to help child and youth mental health service providers support families experiencing grief during the pandemic.
