Grief Counseling Resources
Grief is a normal and healthy response to the loss of a loved one.
Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for people who are grieving the death of a significant other.
The Crisis Center offers support and education to help people develop coping skills to better handle their loss.
For immediate, 24-hour phone counseling, contact our Call Center by calling 211, 800-830-5380, or texting HOPE to 20121.
Mobile Grief Response
The Crisis On-site Mobile Grief Response Team provides a rapid, field-based response for grief and crisis counseling at schools and businesses.
We provide support to youths and adults mourning a death, bereaved or affected by the traumatic loss through suicide, homicide, or sudden loss.
Group Support
Bereavement support groups currently meet at the Crisis Center in Walnut Creek for survivors after suicide loss, parents who have lost children, spouses and partners loss, and family and friends loss. Group support is facilitated by trained volunteers. No one should have to face loss alone.
For immediate, 24-hour phone counseling, contact our Call Center by calling 211, 800-830-5380, or texting HOPE to 20121.
