Grief can feel isolating. You do not have to face it alone

Peer grief support groups are at the core of CGC’s mission.

Our groups bring together children, teens, young adults, parents, and caregivers who are grieving the death of someone important.

In a safe, compassionate, and inclusive environment, participants can share their experiences, remember the person who died, develop healthy coping skills, and connect with others who understand. 

Peer support groups are not therapy. Trained facilitators guide age-appropriate conversations and activities using art, play, music, journaling, movement, mindfulness, and other creative approaches. Participants are encouraged to engage at a pace that feels manageable for them. 

CURRENT SUPPORT GROUPS

During Family Group Nights, children and young adults meet with peers in age-based groups, while parents and caregivers receive support alongside other adults:

  • “Littles” ages 5-8
  • “Middles” ages 9-11
  • “Tweens” ages 12-14
  • Teens ages 15-18
  • Young Adult ages 19-25
  • Parent and Caregiver Groups are offered in English and Spanish

PROJECTED SPECIALTY GROUPS

Throughout the year, CGC may offer additional family-centered experiences focused on coping, connection, remembrance, and important transitions. These may include Back-to-School activities, memory-making projects, holiday support, and other specialty programs developed in response to family needs.

Offerings vary based on scheduling, funding, and program capacity.

Peer grief support groups are provided at no cost to families.

Before beginning services, each family completes a one-time comprehensive grief assessment. This supportive conversation helps our team understand how grief is affecting each family member and identify the most appropriate next step.

Recommendations may include peer grief support groups, grief therapy when clinically appropriate, or connections to additional community resources.

Contact our team to learn more and schedule your family’s comprehensive grief assessment.
