GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS
We offer grief support groups in a wide variety of
locations. Groups are designed to provide education about
the grief process, while allowing members to share their
unique experiences and learn from others in similar
situations. These groups are open to anyone in the
community who is bereaved at no cost.
A SEASON of SPECIAL DAYS: Coping with Grief During
the Holidays
For those who are grieving, the holiday season can be a particularly
difficult time. This educational and supportive program provides practical
tips on how to cope, along with an opportunity to honor and remember loved ones.
This program is offered in a wide variety of locations at no cost to anyone in the
community who is bereaved. Additionally, we offer a pocket journal to those who are
grieving entitled "A Year of Special Days: A Journal for Coping with Grief." This is
a guided journal to help the bereaved cope with major Holidays throughout the year.
SEMINARS and WORKSHOPS
Our trained staff provides a variety of educational
opportunities for individuals, groups, businesses, and
professionals. These programs are scheduled periodically
throughout the year. Programs are tailored to each
group's needs, and range from basic to advanced
information on topics related to illness, dying, death,
funeral practices, bereavement, self-care, compassion
fatigue and other loss issues.

pamphlets and handouts that are available to grieving
family members or concerned individuals. Available topics
