Grief Support Group Facilitator

Mirey Faema (She/Her)

Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC #20791), Canadian Certified Counsellor ( C.C.C.)

Mirey is passionate about building connections with, and providing support to, individuals and families who have experienced complex trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem challenges, gender transitions, and grief.

PLEASE NOTE: Each person and each person within a family grieve on a different timetable. We recommend waiting at least 8 to 10 weeks after the death before joining a support group. At this point, we believe you may be better able to share your story, as well as to hear the grief stories of other group members.
