History
| Bereaved
Families of Ontario (BFO) was initiated in 1978 by four bereaved
mothers as a self-help, mutual aid program under the auspices of the
Chaplaincy Department of the Hospital for Sick Children. In July
1984, a grant from the Trillium Foundation enabled the organization
to became a provincial body. Durham Region became an affiliate in
October 1993 "and a strong team of volunteers". Our chapter provides
support services, public awareness, and volunteer training in our
Region.
Mission |
| BFO
provides self-help/mutual aid support to bereaved parents through
groups and/or one-to-one meetings.
BFO may assist corporations. local
businesses and other institutions with bereaved support services for
their employees and their families through their Employee Assistance
Program.
BFO has a small staff of
volunteers who will provide the front line service to the bereaved
in our community. |
Funding
| All our programs
and services are offered free of charge.
BFO-Durham Region currently receives no
federal, prudential or municipal funding, nor are we a member of the
Untied Way.
Most of BFO's Funding comes from
individuals and special fundraising events. |
