About This Group:

The loss of a beloved pet can be difficult. The Pet Bereavement and Loss Support Group is a free drop-in group, providing a safe and supportive place to come to process your loss.

Our Pet Loss and Bereavement Support Group has been running since 2018, and at one point was the only active in person group of its kind in Toronto. We all experience and express grief and loss differently, and in different contexts. Some participants have recently experienced a loss due to pet death or surrender, some are anticipating an upcoming loss, some have carried their grief and loss with them for years and are looking for a space to continue to process without judgement. Whatever your situation, you are welcome to join us.

This group is open to individuals of all ages and experiences, however participants tend to be adults. Children under 16 should be accompanied by a parent. View our calendar for a full list of dates.

Please note this group is offered both online via Zoom secure video or phone “dial-in” option, and in person at our office at 1670 Bayview Avenue. For those attending the online group, information about logging in will be sent to you after registration. Please ensure you register for the correct group as both in person and online groups are held on different days.
