Grief Support Groups

Grief Support Groups at Hillside

While no one grieves the same way, a recent loss can feel overwhelming to many. Our monthly grief support groups are facilitated by a trained professional and are designed to help participants navigate the healing process in the company of others sharing similar experiences.
