Dr. Jay Children's Grief Centre / Camp Erin Toronto

We are a multidisciplinary team of counsellors, educators, and volunteers who support children, youth and families during some of their most difficult moments before and after the death of a family member. We support through individual and family counselling, resources, education, support groups and family events.

The Dr. Jay Children's Grief Centre also offers Camp Erin Toronto - an overnight bereavement camp for children and teens aged 6-17 in the Greater Toronto area. Traditional outdoor camp activities, such as swimming and canoeing, are combined with grief education and emotional support activities, such as journal making and a candlelight memorial ceremony. Camp Erin activities focus on providing campers with the tools needed to help them in their grief and enhance self-esteem, as well as provide pure enjoyment. All activities are facilitated by our grief counsellors and trained volunteers.
