Bereavement Support Groups
The journey through grief can be long and difficult. Losing a loved one can impact a person physically, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, socially, spiritually and financially. Our Grief and Bereavement Program supports family members and loved ones through the first year of loss. Our grief counselors work with bereaved individuals to help them cope with their loss and begin to heal. We also provide grief and bereavement support groups to help participants share their experiences and understand that they are not alone. There is no charge for this service; we are here to help.
For information about our bereavement program and schedule of support groups and seminars, call 203-762-8958.
