New Beginnings
Grief and Loss Support Groups
VNA remains committed to the needs of our community including your grief support. It is our goal to maintain accessibility to every individual. These adjustments include the addition of virtual and increased telephonic support meetings. VNA support groups are offered at no charge as a community service.
Our VNA Bereavement team offers multiple grief therapy groups across different county geographies and individual, personalized grief counseling to both community members and hospice families. Our grief counseling is a free community service provided to anyone experiencing loss.
For on-site meeting locations, in order to follow VNA safety policy, no more than 8 attendees are permitted. We also ask please be respectful of those around you, by not attending, if you answer yes to any of the following:
- You or a family member has a sore throat, cough, and fever
- You have had contact in the last 14 days with someone who is suspected of or confirmed as having coronavirus
- You have had contact with someone who has traveled internationally in the last 14 days
