We want you to get the care you deserve.
Our mission
J.A.G. Village is a social enterprise that is dedicated to providing support, a sense of community and empowering children, youth, and their families who are anticipating or have experienced the loss of a loved one through counselling, grief education and collective healing activities.
A modern approach
To promote and create a culture both internally and externally of J.A.G. Village where individuals, families and communities recognize that grief is not a problem to be solved, it is love that needs to be nurtured, carried and honoured, even when that love and/or grief is complicated.
Our KLC Values
Kindness
Kindness is described as the act of doing no harm to others. Here at J.A.G. Village, we ask that this kindness be extended to ourselves. We acknowledge that all feelings and thoughts are important. We observe, and feel them with kindness.
Love
We know that your love for a loved one has brought you here. Grief is love. Love can look and feel like so many other feelings, including sadness, anger, worry, guilt, relief, numbness, and even happiness.
Compassion & Connected Community
Compassion allows us to tolerate the intolerable, and for others to bear witness to pain that cannot be fixed. At J.A.G. Village we ask that we suspend judgement on what, how, and who we think we or others should or could be. Through a connected community, we find strength and the ability to coexist with the life we had and the life we have now been given.
Our rates
Bereavement Therapy
Online or in-person, this is designated for individuals in bereavement as they learn to walk, breathe and even smile again, while often tolerating the intolerable. Typically, meetings are weekly or bi-weekly.
