Healing Hearts with Moms Stop The Harm

Peer Support After a Loss from Substance Use Related Causes

Healing Hearts is a free bereavement support group specific to those grieving the loss of a loved one due to overdose or substance-use related harms.

Healing Hearts support groups offer an open-format peer-led model of support. Healing Hearts does not offer therapeutic counselling.  The group facilitators have lived experience and have personally lost a loved one to substance related harms.

The death of someone we love and care about can be one of the most difficult experiences of life to move through. Losing a loved one to substance use related harms often brings with it complex layers of grief. Many individuals feel isolated in their grief journey due to the stigma associated with the nature of the passing. The loss can be more challenging than we expect and it is often difficult for those supporting us to understand. After the loss of our loved one, we experience a wide variety of feelings and emotions. Healing Hearts offers a support group which is a safe, non judgmental place for people to share their grief journey.

Healing Hearts Bereavement support is offered by Moms Stop the Harm (MSTH), a network of Canadian families impacted by substance-use related harms and deaths. MSTH advocates to change failed drug policies and provide peer support to grieving families and those with loved ones who use or have used substances.
