Grief Support Programs
There is no living without loss. Yet inside all loss, no matter how painful, there are seeds of hope. Loss tends to isolate us, close us down, and leave many of us feeling bewildered, alone, and like no one understands. But companionship can help us cultivate hope and grow toward healing.
To help the patients of YoloCares, their loved ones, as well as members of the wider community, the Center for Loss and Hope offers an array of services, programs, and resources free of charge.
Here’s a general list of what may be available to you:
- Grief Support Groups
- One-on-one Grief Support
- Grief Classes, Seminars, and Trainings
- YoloCares for Kids: Support for Young Grievers
- Spanish Language Services
- Memorial Services and Events
