💙 Grief Goes Surfing — August 18 & 19 🌊

Over the past year, many young people in our community have experienced the loss of someone important to them. For youth, grief can be especially difficult to navigate — and sometimes simply knowing that they are not alone can make a meaningful difference.

We are grateful to partner with Bernie’s Buddies to offer Grief Goes Surfing, a two-day summer camp designed to bring grieving youth together in a supportive, understanding environment.

On August 18, youth will gather at Our House Youth Wellness Centre for a grief group workshop where they can connect with others, explore their experiences with grief, learn coping strategies, and participate in activities focused on remembrance, support and healing.

Then, on August 19, we’ll head to Crescent Beach in Lockeport for a group surf lesson. 🌊🏄 Sometimes trying something new, working through a challenge, laughing together and being surrounded by people who understand can be powerful parts of moving through grief.

This program is for youth who have experienced the death of anyone important in their lives. The loss does not have to be recent, and it does not have to be the loss of a family member. Grief has no timeline, and every loss deserves space to be acknowledged.

Registration is required ➡️➡️https://forms.gle/9cjc8bwJPZta6dFi7

Snacks, lunch and beverages will be provided both days.

We are incredibly thankful to Bernie’s Buddies and Rossignol Surf Shop for helping us create an opportunity for young people to connect, remember, try something new and, hopefully, feel a little less alone. 💙

Please share so we can reach the youth and families who may benefit from this experience.
