Since our inception we’ve had a dream of making the world a kinder, more loving and more compassionate place for people of all ages who are coping with serious illness, loss and grief.
Our vision keeps us grounded in our “why” and our mission clarifies the paths we take to get there.
Our Mission
We provide education, support, and counselling services to individuals, families and groups who are grieving the death of a loved one or coping with a serious illness.
Our Vision
We aim to foster a “community of belonging” that provides grieving families with a memorable and positive experience of connection, healing and hope.
Who We serve
Children, youth, individuals & families impacted by life-threatening illness, grief & loss.
How We Do It
Lumara’s community model of care embraces a holistic approach to bereavement care where emphasis is placed on healing both within and between families. Through our programs/services, we aim to foster a community of belonging that provides grieving families with memorable and positive experiences of connection, healing and hope.
Our programs are delivered through applying evidence-based methods and holistic therapies that recognize bereavement as an ongoing process rather than a series of predetermined emotional stages that people move through in a predictable and orderly fashion. Our Model identifies individuals and families through an ecological framework. We recognize that each person is unique, that they themselves change over time, as do their family systems and mechanisms of support.
