Pathways of Hope Grief Counseling Centers
Pathways of HopeSM Grief Counseling Centers provide a variety of services to the communities we serve. Support and education are provided by a team of counselors and social workers, all with significant experience and expertise in assisting grieving children, adolescents and adults.
Grief is a normal reaction to loss, and it is a unique experience for each individual, just as each relationship is itself one of a kind. One-on-one counseling sessions for children, teens and adults are available by appointment. A bereavement counselor/social worker assesses each individual’s needs and develops a tailored plan of care to help them navigate the grief process and cope with the life changes that loss brings. Many times, just one session can provide enough information for the affected person to feel that he or she is processing grief normally.
Providing quality education on issues of end of life, grief and loss is another primary mission focus of the Pathways of Hope Grief Counseling Centers. Professional staff provide training for congregations, schools and civic groups on a variety of topics, including children’s grief, the normal grief process, comforting the bereaved, professional ethics, advance directives and self-care for the caregiver. Staff also can tailor a program specifically for your group’s needs.
The Pathways of Hope staff is ready to support you in your grief and help you with a plan for coping well. We look forward to your call. We wish you a season of renewed hope, peace, contentment and a return of joy in your life!
For more information about services in your area, please contact your local Pathways of Hope grief counseling center. Thank you for your support.
