A record 81 people in Prince George died from illicit drug toxicity in 2022, and every one of them left behind grieving friends, family and loved ones.
A new support group is forming in Prince George next month for people who have lost friends and loved ones to substance use-related harms of all types. Healing Hearts bereavement support will begin holding monthly meetings on April 11.
“Healing Hearts bereavement support is designed to bring families together who have experienced a similar loss. It is a judgement-free place to share your storey,” promotional material for the group says. “We provide a safe and confidential environment for you to find support and cope with grief and loss.”
The meetings are free, confidential and no commitment is required. Meetings will be held on the second Tuesday of every month at 6:30 p.m.
