Activities

"Furrever Missed” - brought to you by the SPCA’s pet bereavement initiative, Never Too Old to Love. We present the first pet bereavement workshop for “World Mental Health Day” which consists of experience sharing, counselling and art jamming for pet owners who have experienced pet loss.

Art has long been used as a creative outlet to help express and process one’s emotions, and the art jam portion of the workshop will be led by art instructor CC Wong.

The counselor from Comfort Care Concern Group will also be present to facilitate the small group sharing among the participants. It aims at helping them to work through the grief in loss of their beloved pets in a supportive atmosphere.  

The session is free of charge for participants, though a refundable deposit is required to secure your spot in the workshop and will be refunded after deduction of administration fee* to participants on the day of the workshop.

Join us on the healing journey through the power of art.
