Are you grieving the loss of a loved one during the pandemic?
 
"Learning to Cope with Death in a Pandemic' is an 8-week group that provides an opportunity to help you express your grief, learn the bereavement process, and understand the journey that we all share when we lose someone close to us.

Join us every Thursday from 1-3 pm (January 27 to March 17) for the opportunity to share how the impact of the pandemic has affected our experiences. This group is open to anyone who has experienced a loss in the past two years and is facilitated by York Support Services Network, Addiction Services of Central Ontario, and Krasman Centre. For more information or to register, send an email to Cathleen Marengeur at c.marengeur@krasmancentre.com.

Stay Safe and Don't Use Alone!

The Safer Use Peer Support Line is a toll-free phone line service that provides safer drug use information, peer-based substance use 'witnessing' to people who use drugs to increase safety and comfort for those most at risk of an overdose. If you are alone and using, connect with a Peer Supporter over the phone to spot you. Peer Supporters who answer calls have lived experience with drug use. 

Krasman Centre is proud to be an organization that centres its work around harm reduction policy and practice. We believe in building relationships with people with addiction challenges and accept that substance use is part of our world, and we remain committed to minimizing its harmful effects rather than simply ignoring and condemning them. Safer Use Peer Support Line will be operating throughout the holidays from 8 PM - 1 AM.
