Our Living with Advanced Illness Centre supports clients of all ages living with an advanced illness or those who have someone close to them living with an advanced illness (family member, close friend, etc.). Services include individual and family counselling, community education through online workshops and resources, and volunteer support. Services are offered from the point of diagnosis and then for as long as needed.
The centre offers community education and resources, individual and family counselling, bereavement support, and the newly launched Companion Program.
The Companion Program carefully matches volunteers with clients to provide regular support, including respite, companionship, resource sharing, and other practical support. The program aims to reduce stress and feelings of isolation in patients, caregivers, and their families and promote an active role in living life to the fullest during illness.
Counselling for individuals, caregivers, and families navigating illness, end-of-life, and bereavement. Grief is a common response when experiencing any life-limiting illness and loss. Counselling can help navigate through these challenging times. We have a specialized team of counsellors who work with clients, caregivers, and family members of all ages through illness, end-of-life, and bereavement.
