The goal of the RCCHP is to partner with long term care (LTC) facilities to support COVID-19 readiness and response planning. The RRHCP has identified a facility-level need of group bereavement services for staff in facilities that have experienced significant losses of colleagues and residents to COVID-19.

The bereavement social worker will work collaboratively as part of a team of 3-5 social workers (depending on demand for services) to develop support group framework and content.

Access to the technology platform to provide virtual groups will be provided.
