Voies de guérison
Community collaboration in grief, bereavement, and emotional wellness for all Nova Scotians.
Healing Pathways is a program designed to support grief, bereavement, and emotional wellness across Nova Scotia. The program includes two complementary components: Healing Pathways Community Funding Grants, which provide financial support to community-based organizations delivering grief and emotional wellness initiatives, and Healing Pathways-Grieving Well™ which focuses on building shared understanding, resources, and education to strengthen grief support across the province.
Ce travail répond directement à l’appel de la Mass Victimty Commission pour un soutien communautaire soutenu au deuil après l’événement d’avril 2020.

Le puits™ de deuil
Annuaire en ligne
Healing Pathways-Prieving Well™ est un annuaire en ligne conçu pour soutenir les Néo-Écossais dans leur deuil et leur bien-être émotionnel.
Qu’il s’agisse de vivre une perte personnelle ou de soutenir quelqu’un en deuil, ce répertoire offre des informations accessibles, des outils pratiques et des soutiens communautaires pour aider les individus à chaque étape de leur parcours.
Développé par la Nova Scotia Hospice Palliative Care Association, Healing Pathways – Prieving Well connecte les utilisateurs à des ressources fiables, incluant l’éducation au deuil, les services de soutien et les communautés de pairs. Bien que l’annuaire s’étendra à l’ensemble de la province en 2025, son objectif initial est mis sur les ressources disponibles à Cumberland, Colchester et East Hants.
Le deuil est une expérience profondément personnelle, mais personne n’a à le traverser seul. Chemins de guérison – Pleuring Well aide les individus à trouver le soutien dont ils ont besoin, quand ils en ont besoin.
