MAid Support Services
Bridge C-14 : has created a network for individuals to build meaningful connections of support through all stages of assisted death. Bridge C-14 was founded on the need for access to peer-to-peer support for those with lived experience, as well as to provide information about MAiD. We strive to help change the conversation to one which honours and respects family dignity and individual choice, and are committed to bridging the gap between procedure and compassion. Website: www.bridgec14.org
Bridge4you Not-for-Profit Society was born out of the realization that a peer-to-peer resource such as this did not exist. Now it does. We are a group of individuals who have been through MAiD, and have come together to be that bridge so to speak, to make the path leading up to MAiD a little easier for you. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Website: www.bridge4you.ca
