Yes. We welcome anyone in our five-country service area seeking grief support, regardless of whether their loved one was in hospice care. In fact, nearly 50% of the adults who come to us for support lost a loved one suddenly through a traumatic incident such as a car accident, a heart attack or a murder. 

We provide tailored support for children and teens, including individual counseling and family counseling sessions. Camp Courage is also available to any child aged 6-14 who has experienced the death of a loved one.
