At Myra’s Kids Foundation (MKF), our mission is to provide a safe place for children to honour and understand how they may be impacted by the loss of a loved one. To this end, we offer a free, non-denominational bereavement camp for children and teenagers, ages 6 to 17, who are grieving a significant death. We provide a traditional, fun, and high-energy camp experience, combined with grief education and emotional support. MKF also offers free monthly support groups for families along with psycho-social support.
The Carousel program is a comprehensive bereavement service that caters to children and youth between the ages of 6 and 17 who are navigating the challenges of loss and change. We offer individual grief support sessions that can be arranged to take place in-school or at our office in Beaconsfield. We also offer biannual one-day bereavement camps which take place over a weekend day. Our Carousel Bereavement Program services are offered free-of-charge to young people who are going through a period of adjustment in their bereavement journey.
