Safety precautions related to COVID-19
Visiting Agrace (effective March 1, 2023):
If you have any questions before visiting Agrace, please call (800) 553-4289
Learn about Agrace’s grief support groups, including the dates of upcoming groups near you.
A grief support group is a gathering where you can talk about thoughts and feelings and learn healthy ways to cope after someone has died. You’ll get emotional support from the group leader and from the other participants, who have had a similar loss. Some Agrace groups meet once a week for six weeks. Other groups meet regularly all year long, and you can attend as needed.
Agrace’s grief support groups are open to anyone in the local area who has experienced a loss due to death, even if the person who died was not an Agrace patient.
