Support for Families

Traditional Healing Supports

Finding meaningful support can be challenging, especially when you are grieving. PAIL Network has compiled a listing of resources in communities across Ontario that may offer crisis support as well as other meaningful connections with other services for Indigenous families at no cost. This list can be downloaded and printed, or you can access the links directly to the resources within the document. This list will be reviewed annually, and any additions or corrections can be sent to pailvolunteer@sunnybrook.ca

Please note that PAIL Network has provided these resources for information only and cannot endorse or recommend specific organizations.

Online Indigenous Circle of Support

Indigenous families across Ontario have unique grief needs that can be difficult for non-Indigenous persons to understand. In response to this unmet need, PAIL Network is proud to offer Online Indigenous Circle of Support hosted by an Indigenous peer support volunteer. This group is held once a month. CLICK HERE to see the schedule for this online group.

Please visit https://sunnybrook.ca/extras/pailnetwork/support-request-form/ to complete a request for support.

If you feel you are ready to support other Indigenous families on their healing journeys please consider volunteering for PAIL Network by filling out our volunteer application.

If you have any questions please contact pailvolunteer@sunnybrook.ca

Tablet Pilot Program

We have learned that some families may not have the hardware needed to join our online support groups. In response to this, we are distributing tablets to Indigenous families across Ontario

If you are interested in participating in this program please contact PAIL Network’s Special Projects Coordinator at joanna.burt@sunnybrook.ca
