Camp “White Heart” for Grieving Youth

Currently, in New Brunswick, there are no services offered for youth experiencing the loss of someone by suicide. This is a youth program for those experiencing the loss of a family member by suicide. The program involves a weekend retreat facilitated by grief therapists who have experience supporting grieving children and youth. Youth will participate in activities that include a peer support group, art therapy, music therapy, outdoor activities, and mindfulness. After the weekend retreat, a monthly follow-up program will be offered to keep youth connected. They aim to promote a sense of inclusion for youth experiencing stigma and isolation around suicide loss while helping them connect with other youth experiencing loss by suicide.
