Grief support group for someone with an intellectual disability  
Started by JesseCD

My father died this year. I'm looking to find or form a virtual grief support group for my brother who is in his 50s and has an intellectual disability. I was thinking the group could meet weekly or biweekly and be facilitated by a support person (social worker or grief counsellor) creating the opportunity for both formal support and the benefit of social connection for members who are all at various stages of the grieving process. 

is anyone aware of any thing like this?

Welcome Jessecd
i am doing some checking for you re support groups. I hope to get back to you in the next day or so.

Not sure if you saw the resource on Canadian Virtual Hospice website - will add it here.  

How has the last year been for you?
