Grief Support Program Development & Facilitation
Still Point partners with organizations to develop and facilitate specialized grief-support programming for the individuals and families they serve.
Programs are developed around the needs of the population rather than requiring the population to fit a predetermined model of grief support.
What a Program Might Include
Open Support Groups
Accessible ongoing groups that allow community members to attend when support would be useful, without committing to a closed group series.
Closed Groups
Consistent groups for participants who may benefit from meeting with the same members over an established period of time
Population-Specific Groups
Groups developed around experiences within the larger community—for example, caregivers, fathers, bereaved family members, or other populations whose needs warrant their own space.
Bereavement Groups
Continued connection and grief support for families following a death.
Grief Education & Community Conversations
Educational or facilitated conversations can also be developed around topics emerging within the community.
Topic-Focused Groups
Standalone conversations are organized around a particular experience or question.
These can provide a lower-threshold entry point for people who are curious about a topic but uncertain about joining an ongoing support group. Participation does not have to require disclosure; listening can also be a way of participating.
