About us
Bereaved Families of Ontario Southwest Region (BFO-SW) is a non-profit, mutual aid organization that originally started in 1984 to help support families who experienced the death of a child.
Today, we continue to offer free support and programs for those who have experienced the death of a child, along with support for individuals who have experienced other death-related losses as well.
We provide a safe place where members can talk about their loss, share their story, and express their grief. Through the self-help process, participants know they are not alone, and may feel hopeful as they see how others have coped and learn about grief as a normal response to loss.
Upon request we do consider inquiries from out of these counties.
Bereaved Families of Ontario – Southwest Region is one of 10 Bereaved Families organizations across Ontario. You can find out more about our parent organization – Bereaved Families of Ontario at this link.
Support Provided
All services provided at BFO-SW are based on peer support. We do not provide counselling, therapy, or crisis support. However, we can help you get connected to clinical services, support helplines, grief-related resources, and other community services as needed.
All of our peer support services are provided by compassionate and trained facilitators who have also experienced grief and loss. Our facilitators can be volunteers, staff, or practicum students. Currently, our programs are available for those ages 18+.
