Grief can be overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone.

Hospice Georgina's Grief Education Program (GEP) is a free, ongoing program designed to help individuals better understand grief, develop healthy coping strategies, build resilience, and connect with others who share similar experiences.

This program is open to anyone experiencing grief or loss in any form, including those grieving the death of a loved one, coping with life transitions, caregiving challenges, health changes, or other significant life changes. It is also a valuable resource for caregivers, community support workers, volunteers, and anyone supporting others through grief who would like to strengthen their knowledge, confidence, and compassionate communication skills.

Through a series of standalone educational modules and supportive discussions, participants explore topics such as grief and loss, self-care, emotional wellness, life transitions, support systems, resilience, and celebrating the legacy of loved ones. Each session focuses on a different topic and can be attended independently, allowing participants to join the program at any time once registered. There is no need to wait for a new series to begin.

• Hybrid format:  attend in person or via Zoom

• Open to individuals experiencing grief, loss, caregiving challenges, or significant life transitions

• Welcoming to caregivers, community support workers, volunteers, and those supporting others through grief

• Join at any time throughout the program

• Practical tools, education, reflection, and peer support

Whether you are navigating a personal loss, supporting someone who is grieving, facing a major life transition, or simply looking to expand your understanding of grief and overall emotional wellness, GEP offers a welcoming space to learn, reflect, and connect.

Program Schedule

Sessions are offered during the second and final weeks of each month. Each session cycle features a new educational module, which is offered in both online and in-person formats during the same week.

• Online (Zoom): Tuesday evenings from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

• In-Person at Hospice Georgina: Thursday afternoons from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. (snacks provided)

The Tuesday and Thursday sessions during the same week cover the same module, allowing participants to choose the format that works best for them. A new module is then introduced during the next session cycle later in the month.

Registration is required. New participants are welcome to join at any point during the program.
