Virtual Grief and Loss Support Groups – Pathways Center for Grief and Loss
Coping Kids & Teens, a program with the Pathways Center for Grief & Loss, is a local resource to support the needs of children, teens and families impacted by serious illness and loss through individual and group grief support services. As a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and in an effort to ensure everyone’s health and safety, we are temporarily suspending events and in-person support groups.
We are offering virtual counseling sessions and support groups through Zoom (similar to Facetime for those using iPhones) for children, teens and families. Phone support continues to be available for the bereaved as well as school and community professionals who have questions about our services or are seeking resources to share. There is no cost to participate in our services.
Please call the Pathways Center at (717) 391-2413 or (800) 924-7610 to request the log-in address or phone number to participate via Zoom.
