Support Groups
In the face of the COVID-19 outbreak, Mourning Hope suspended all in-person support groups and appointments effective March 14. Beginning Monday, March 30, we began providing free online grief support groups for adults and youth ages 10+. These are open, ongoing groups hosted weekly via Zoom, an online video conferencing platform. New members are welcome to join at any time, and new dates will continue to be added. All groups are free to attend, but pre-registration is required in order to receive the invitation link to participate.
