BC BEREAVEMENT HELPLINE

Since its inception in 1988, the BCBH has been active in the provision and encouragement of, and remains committed to: Support - by acting as a resource and support to the bereaved and caregivers through referral and interdisciplinary communication. Education - by providing knowledge and understanding of the psychological, sociological, physical and spiritual dimensions on dying, death, and bereavement. Research - by encouraging research projects on death, dying, and bereavement. Advocacy - by advocating on behalf of the bereaved within the public and private sectors. The BC Bereavement Helpline assists the bereaved and their caregivers in coping and managing grief and loss. When you call us your call will be answered by a caring, compassionate volunteer who is familiar with over 300 grief support groups and organizations in the province. Volunteers are trained to provide compassionate listening and offer an opportunity to lend a sympathetic ear for the bereaved. Our traumatic loss support groups provide a safe, nurturing environment for participants to share and support each other in their grief. Trained facilitators provide information about grief and encourage individuals to speak about their loss as they feel comfortable. Your call is free, confidential and anonymous and will be treated with care in helping you find the most appropriate support for your specific type of loss.

Anyone coping with grief and loss.
