Who Funds Living Through Loss Counselling?

The United Way provides partial funding. Private Donations, Corporate Sponsors, Society Members and fees provide the balance. We are able to offer individual counselling at a reduced rate of $95/hr because of our partial funding.

We have dedicated a page on our site to people and organizations that have contributed to LTLC either through their time, resources or funding. Please see the Thank You page for details.
