Grief sucks — but you don’t have to go through it alone. 🩵

Join other teens (14–18) who get it on the first Tuesday of every month, starting August 5. No pressure, no sign-up — just a chill space to talk, listen, or just be.

Got questions about the group? DM us — we're here for you.

A smartphone screen showing a mock Spotify playlist titled “In Grief Together — Connect with Teens” by Chilliwack Hospice Society. The playlist includes fictional song titles like “Crying at the Grocery Store Again” and “It Hurts to Say Your Name.” At the top, a message from Kaylee (Youth Program Manager) invites teens to text or DM with questions. In the centre is a square graphic that says: “IN GRIEF TOGETHER — Teen Drop-In Support Group — Tuesdays at 3PM.” A banner at the bottom promotes the free teen drop-in grief support group for ages 14–18, happening the first Tuesday of each month. The background is a bright orange.
