Evening drop-in programs for families and teens.
Our evening drop-in programs: The Village and The Hangout, create opportunities for families and teens to connect with others in a relaxed and supportive environment. Our Youth Leaders program allows some of our past youth clients to develop their leadership capacity while supporting other grieving families.

About Groups
Why Peer-to-Peer Connection
Grief is how we respond when we experience loss. Grief is complicated, and there is no one way to experience it. Even members of the same family can grieve differently. Connecting with others can reduce the sense of isolation and feeling of loneliness that often come with grief.
Accessible to All
The Village is a free drop-in program for our family clients. Group fees are on a sliding scale based on family income. No one is refused service because of an inability to pay.
