Grief and Loss Programs - Infant Loss Support, Child, Adolescent and Adult Grief Programs

Grief situations present significant challenges that can affect us, our families and our work life. These programs are designed to help individuals through the grief and loss process. Sessions are led by qualified clinicians and consist of formal learning experience and group discussion.

All Adult Grief Groups and Infant Loss Support Groups are Provided Free of Charge through a Grant from the Avera Foundation. Individual sessions for those who are not receptive to a group atmosphere are available as a billable service.
