Grief Counseling Project Staff counselors and interns at The Grief Counseling Project provide bereavement counseling to individuals, couples, and families who have suffered a loss. We also provide short-term support groups for general bereavement, suicide bereavement and homicide bereavement. A major issue for seniors is isolation and loneliness. Our goal is to help seniors stay in their homes and to live as independently as possible. We talk to seniors about what they want to talk about and offer social support.
Counseling is available when appropriate.
A special emphasis is placed on helping low income and minority elders. In an effort to stop teenage suicide, our Community Education Program sends speakers into schools to meet with students and to bring information about suicide prevention and our programs to teachers, community groups, mental health providers and parents. Our staff also provides debriefing services for those who are grieving a sudden death and grief education training to community organizations. Attempters Group Those who have attempted suicide and need additional support meet regularly. This is an open-ended group and has been ongoing for the past 12 years.
