Description
All of our grief support groups are facilitated by volunteers who are themselves bereaved, and offer a unique compassion and empathetic understanding of grief and grief support to our program members. Using your own bereavement experience, as a peer support facilitator, you will believe in the benefits of peer support to facilitate bereaved individuals in a group setting.

We are looking for volunteers to participate in our Facilitator training to prepare themselves to facilitate our bereavement groups.

Our groups include:

- Parents grieving the death of an infant: For individuals/couples grieving pregnancy loss, infant, or toddler
- Parents grieving the death of a child: For individuals or couples grieving the death of a child at any age, including adult children.
- Good Grief: For teens ages 13-17
