Grief Support Groups

Grief can bring many emotions and may leave individuals feeling isolated or unsure if others understand. Our Grief Support Groups provide a safe, supportive space to share experiences and learn coping strategies with others who have experienced similar losses, guided by trained grief counselors. Groups meet for 12 weeks, require advance registration, and space is limited.

Please call (559) 248-8579 for details and registration.
