Exploring & Coping with Grief Workshop for Youth

“The tapestry of life is woven with threads of joy and sorrow, and we’re here to create a space where every thread is valued and honored,” – 12 Oaks

Grieving a loss to suicide can seem overwhelming, but the support and understanding of others can be a powerful source of strength. We welcome youth grieving a loss to suicide between the ages of 12-17 to attend a one-day workshop on Saturday Dec. 6, 2025. The workshops are designed to provide a safe space for youth to explore their grief as well as learn ways to cope with experiences that emerge as a result of grief.

 Parents/caregivers supporting the youth will be provided with information on how to support their youth after the workshop sessions. 

The workshop times will be as follows:

Ages 12-14 10 am – 11:30 am
Ages 15-17 2 pm – 3:30 pm

The workshops are facilitated by a registered psychologist and a counselor.  Sessions will include psychoeducation, sharing, mindfulness and movement, expression through art among various modalities.

Location of the workshops Little Village Wellness Centre at 9910 112 Street NW Edmonton
