Our Programs

Emotional Support

Program Information

TEARS offers emotional support through a philosophy called “companioning.” We won’t tell you how to grieve — we will walk alongside you and support you in the way that feels right for you. Whether you need a listening ear, resources, or opportunities to remember and honor your child, TEARS is here to support you.

Support Groups

Our support groups offer a safe, compassionate space for individuals and families navigating the loss of a child. If you are interested in attending a group, please register with the link provided. For the groups without registration, please contact the listed facilitator.
