Family Support
Adult Grief Support Groups
Families grieve together and separately. We offer parallel groups where adults and children process loss in age-appropriate spaces, then reconnect to support each other through what comes next.
Peer-based groups matched by your age and your relationship to the person who died. Meet others who understand your specific loss.
When a workplace or school experiences a death, we provide on-site support and education to help the community process loss and care for each other.
On-site grief support for students during the school day, plus training for educators to recognize and respond to grief in the classroom with confidence and care.
After a Death: Support for Schools & Workplaces
School Based Support
I never thought I could speak about my wife’s death or cry. In this group I was given the opportunity to feel, and they welcomed me without judgement. I have learned that grief is forever, I am grateful to this program and their experience with grief, I can say I am walking towards acceptance.

What to expect
For those seeking Adult Grief Support Groups or Family Support
15-Minute Intake Call
When you submit our inquiry form, you’ll be prompted to schedule a 15-minute phone call. During this call, we will learn about you and share about our services. If it seems like grief support groups may be a good fit for you or your family, we will invite you to schedule an intake appointment with us. Otherwise, we will provide referrals and resources to support you in your grief process.
45-Minute Intake Call
One of our clinicians will take the conversation deeper, learning more about you and about the person close to you who died. Typically, people are invited into a group following this appointment. Sometimes, however, a group may not be the right support for you and our team will offer resources and referrals tailored to your needs.
Waiting for & Joining Group
Our groups start on a rolling basis. If you’re invited into a group, there is typically a waiting period while we form a group of others who have had a similar loss, at a similar life stage.
Groups meet every other week, led by trained volunteers and supported by clinicians. Groups meet for 6, 9, 12, or 18 months, depending on the relationship. We seek to create a welcoming space for every group member.
