Grieving Support Groups: Remote, Virtual, and Online
VITAS Healthcare support groups provide information and guidance to those experiencing grief and loss.
We offer an assortment of phone-in support groups and Zoom video support groups, free of charge, to help meet the needs of caregivers. These support groups are offered by VITAS Bereavement Services.
Our offerings include ongoing support groups, as well as a selection of support groups that last for a single session ranging from six to 22 weeks. Please check back, as new groups are added often.
