Intersections – Grief Support for Teens with Autism and/or Intellectual Disabilities

Recreational Respite, in collaboration with partner organizations, will deliver neurodivergent-affirming grief support to bereaved teens with autism and/or intellectual disabilities across Canada. Recognizing that neurodivergent individuals process and express grief differently, this initiative addresses the need for tailored support that traditional grief programs often overlook. Through virtual, guided peer support groups, participants will find a safe and inclusive space to navigate grief, build community, and develop coping strategies. This outcome-based program aims to empower neurodivergent teens with the tools and support they need, filling a critical gap in grief resources on a national scale.
