Welcome to ABRPO
The AIDS Bereavement and Resiliency Program of Ontario works with community organizations to build capacity, provide support, and share tools & resources that foster resiliency in the face of multiple loss grief.
Who We Are
AIDS Bereavement and Resiliency Program of Ontario (ABRPO) assists:
- Agency staff to continue to provide effective and compassionate service.
- Organizations to retain and care for invaluable staff, peers, and volunteers.
- Communities to respond effectively to the unique needs of their members.
We have been assisting AIDS service organizations (ASOs), other HIV-related community organizations in Ontario to strengthen resiliency in the face of multiple loss and grief since 1994. We have been responding to the traumatic grief of the overdose crisis since 2017. ABRPO’s programs are funded by Ontario’s Ministry of Health, AIDS & Hepatitis C Programs.

Our new Grounding course
This tool can compliment our personal wellness habits and also change the way we show up in our work. Grounding can enhance our sense of presence and connection to the people we work with and also help us navigate big feelings that show up when the task at hand requires us to stay focused and present. In this module we present 6 methods of grounding that have worked for us–try them out and see what works for you!
