Peer Support Groups

There is no fee for participation

Children ages 3 to 18, and their parent or caregiver, who have experienced the death of someone they love participate in peer support groups twice a month.

Peer support groups are open-ended; participants may join at any time and decide their length of participation.

For children and teens: groups are open to those who lost a parent, caregiver, sibling, friend, grandparent or relative.

For adults: parent/caregiver groups are open to those who have lost a child or spouse. Adult groups meet while the child and teen groups are meeting.
