Bereavement Services

Grief is the normal response we all have to the experience of loss. It is natural and universal, but can also be stressful. Our bereavement services are provided by professionals, as well as professionally trained volunteers. We assist those who are grieving the death of a loved one, and help the caregivers, family members and friends of a terminally ill person. To help you through these difficult times, we offer a variety of bereavement support groups to meet your needs.

• Drop-In Groups
  These groups are available Monday evenings in Room 4 at the Health Conference Center from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Thursday afternoons in Room 3 at the Health Conference Center from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Health Conference Center, Room 5. Come when you can, come when you must, but know that we'll be there for you.
• Bereavement Support Groups
  For more sustained support please join one of our six week-long grief support groups. We can help you find the help you need. For more information, or to arrange a personal consultation, please contact 310/ 784-3754, ext 5.
