Pet Parent Support Groups
I offer counsellor-facilitated support groups for pet parents navigating illness, loss, and other experiences that come with loving and caring for an animal.
Groups generally focus on a particular experience, bringing together people navigating similar circumstances. They offer a place to talk openly, hear from others who understand something of your experience, or simply listen. Some groups are offered on a drop-in basis, while others may run for a set period of time.
