Bereaved Families of Ontario-Toronto

Our mission is to inspire hope and healing in grieving individuals so they may better process and cope with the death of a loved one. We provide inclusive peer support, improved awareness, and education about grief, that fosters hope, healing and improved health and wellness outcomes in the Greater Toronto Area. We believe that mutual, peer support programs, led by experienced volunteer facilitators, play a significant role in the relief of grief by:
  • Providing hope and coping skills through mutual support
  • Authentically relating to one another
  • Creating a safe and reliable space in which to grieve
  • Respecting that every person learns to live with grief in their own way
  • Building and sustaining mutually beneficial connections
  • Embracing the richness of unique and diverse life experiences
We also believe that BFO-Toronto, through its staff and volunteers, has the responsibility to be compassionate, authentic, understanding, inclusive, transparent, accountable, and well governed.
