SPOP is accepting referrals for Bereavement Support Groups.

Our award-winning program of non-sectarian peer-led bereavement support is open to adults of all ages and walks of life. We are holding all groups online and hope to resume in-person meetings later this year.

Groups meet weekly for ten weeks of discussion, shared feelings, and support. We offer specialized groups for spousal/partner and non-spousal/partner loss. Groups are currently free of charge.
