VolunPeers

Griefline’s Forum VolunPeers are Griefline-trained volunteers who support people on the helpline and the forums. Here on the forums you can spot a VolunPeer by their username which includes the prefix ‘VM’ (VolunPeer Member). They may offer information, suggest coping strategies and tools, provide links and resources, and share their own experiences around grief and loss. On the forums, they are here as peers first and foremost to walk alongside you in your grief journey.
