Social isolation and physical distancing requirements create unique challenges for individuals responding to loss and being supportive during the COVID-19 pandemic. Periods of rapid or intense social change intensify feelings of grief, worsening negative thinking and problematic behaviours.

Dr. Ameil Joseph has partnered with CMHA Hamilton to develop an online resource to support individuals dealing with loss, bereavement and grief. Users can access current resources and contribute their own. Contributions from cultural, religious and spiritual leaders have been included in the collection.
