CAPS' Living with Loss is a support group for students who have experienced the death of a loved one. It offers a caring space to connect with other students who understand what it's like to lose someone. The group can provide a sense of community, help you feel less isolated, and encourage healing through compassion and support. It's always your choice how much you share. Whether your loss happened recently or years ago, you are welcome.

Meetings are held weekly on Wednesdays from 2-3 pm at CAPS. You don’t need to sign up – simply drop in!
