Bereavement Groups

What are the benefits of Bereavement Groups for grief?

Bereavement support groups provide a safe space to feel, express, and share your grief. A trained bereavement counselor will help create a healing atmosphere while guiding discussions about grief. Participants will connect and create to build a community that offers support and socialization outside of the group.

The Drop-In Group is available on Zoom for adults who have lost a loved one, whether that is a child, a spouse, a parent, or another important person in their lives. The groups offer the opportunity for general discussion where participants are invited to share their stories, obtain peer support, and receive guidance from a professional with expertise in bereavement care to begin the healing process. These groups are ideal for those who have recently lost their loved one, and they also welcome others whose loss was further in the past.

SUPPORT AFTER HOMICIDE, SUICIDE, AND 
ACCIDENTAL DEATH (VIA ZOOM): 

Every Tuesday 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM 

Facilitated by Karen Judd Lewis

Grieving a death by homicide, suicide or accidental death is often more complicated, confusing, and bewildering.

Survivors often confront emotions like guilt, shame, and anger every time they think about or answer questions concerning their loss. Participating in this group will connect you with other people who have experienced similar losses. As a group, you'll feel less isolated, more willing to voice what you're going through and hear how others are trying to manage their grief. Everyone's grief journey is their own and everyone experiences grief differently. Talking with people in similar circumstances will help you find comfort, recognition, and affirmation as you move forward.

Additional Information:

  • This support group is free to the community.

  • You are not limited to how often you can attend.

Children and Teens

What are the benefits of Children and Teens for grief?

Children and teenagers have been touched uniquely during the pandemic. It is essential to have specialized programs that address their unique and changing needs. Expressive therapies allow children and teens to find a way to connect with their grief and build resiliency.

One-on-one counseling

One-on-one counseling and telehealth provide a licensed therapist or an associate therapist who specializes in grief to help you understand the grieving process, provide a safe space to express your feelings, and teach tools to help you function and feel better as you move through your grieving process.

Apoyo en Español

¿Cuáles son los beneficios de participar en actividades para el duelo?

Es imperativo que seamos capaces de expresar nuestro dolor en nuestro propio idioma. Los terapeutas y consejeros de duelo brindan apoyo a nuestra comunidad de hispanohablantes, educan sobre el dolor y la perdida, enseñan herramientas y abordan las normas culturales para llegar a las personas que están de duelo, de una manera que sea cómoda para su personalidad única, dentro de su cultura única.

Asesoramiento en Grupo

Los grupos de apoyo para el duelo proporcionan un espacio seguro para sentir, expresar y compartir su dolor. Un consejero de duelo capacitado ayudará a crear una atmósfera de sanación mientras guía las discusiones sobre el dolor. Los participantes se conectarán entre sí y crearán una comunidad que ofrezca apoyo y socialización fuera del grupo

DONANTES.

Nuestros donantes son nuestros héroes. Sin su generoso apoyo, los niños de nuestra comunidad que viven con enfermedades y discapacidades no tendrían acceso a atención médica compasiva en el hogar. Estamos increíblemente agradecidos con estos leales donantes de mucho tiempo por hacer posible un hogar para niños enfermos.
