Lesbian & Bisexual Women with Cancer - Canada ---------------------------------------

NEW Lesbians and Gay Men Bereavement Support Group
In collaboration with the Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto, Wellspring is offering a Lesbians and Gay Men Bereavement Support Group. The group provides a safe community for bereaved individuals who have lost a loved one to cancer to meet for mutual understanding, emotional support, and exploration of ways to cope with their loss.

All sessions are led by an experienced professional who specializes in bereavement, and a trained peer facilitator who has lost a loved one to cancer.

The Lesbians and Gay Men Bereavement Support Group is designed to support people over an extended period of time. The group will meet
once a week for eight weeks, then once a month for three months. All discussions are strictly confidential.
