In-Person Grief Support

Due to the COVID-19 virus, our in-person support groups have been cancelled until further notice. Please consider joining one of the online groups

How We Can Help | Our Bereavement & Grief Support Team

Support for you and your family does not end with the death of your loved one. You and your family receive 13 months of grief support to help understand and navigate through the grief process. Reach out today and let us help you find the resources you need. Call (909) 447-7241

Each week we offer grief support groups, free of charge, throughout our community. Our experienced and trained support group facilitators lead groups to offer support, education and a chance to connect with others who have recently lost a loved one. See grief support group monthly calendar here.

Note to Students:

Visitors disrupt our groups. We appreciate that you are asked to visit for your schooling, but due to the sensitive and confidential nature of our groups, we have strict policies about visitors. 1) If you want to observe a group for a class, you MUST call and speak with our bereavement coordinator at least two weeks before the group you want to visit. We need that much lead time for group members to be given time to consent to your visit and to choose not to attend if they wish. 2) No more than one visitor per group will be allowed. 3) No exceptions will be made to this policy, unscheduled (non-bereaved) visitors will not be allowed to attend groups and will be turned away at the door, as our bereaved group member’s well-being always comes first.

Support groups are open to the general public and free of charge with both day and evening sessions. Each group is lead by experienced staff members and facilitators who have extensive training as well as personal experience with the grief process.
