About
In collaboration with the Ottawa Public Library, we’re pleased to offer this in-person workshop for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone wanting to better support the young people in their lives.
Discussing death with youth can be challenging and many tend to avoid the conversations altogether. But death, just like birth, is a natural part of our lives. As parents, guardians, and caregivers, it is our responsibility to ensure young people know it’s okay to talk about death and learn how to process their grief.
