Bereaved Support / Grief Support: The bereavement programs offer a supportive and accepting community for individuals who have lost a loved one to cancer. In a safe and confidential environment, participants are invited to share their stories, honour the memory of their loved one, express their grief, and reflect on the impact of their loss.
Cancer Transition Coaching: This program supports individuals as they transition from active cancer treatment to follow-up care. Through one-on-one sessions with a trained volunteer coach who has experience in oncology, participants receive guidance in developing personalized plans to manage emotional, physical, and practical concerns while adjusting to a new sense of normal.

Coaches work with participants to identify and discuss their top three concerns and assist in creating a personalized wellness plan to address them.
