Grief Recovery Programs
ADULT GRIEF RECOVERY PROGRAMBereavement refers to the period of time following the death of a significant person in your life ... a spouse ... a child ... another relative ... or a friend. Grief is a healing process that slowly moves toward resolution and closure. Each person’s grief is felt and experienced in individual ways. When death occurs, you may receive support from family and friends. Sometimes, however, you may find that this support is not enough.
The grief you may be experiencing is a normal and healthy expression of feelings.
Genesys Hospice Grief Support Services provide an opportunity to express those feelings and receive emotional support. These services are available for hospice families as well as anyone in the community who has suffered the loss of a loved one. Our highly trained social workers assist participants with family issues, feelings of loneliness, and stress management while they move through the tasks of grief work, and learn to understand common behaviors that are a consequence of loss.

Genesys Camp BraveHeart©
Healing Hearts
Specially designed to meet the unique needs of grieving children (ages 5-17) and their families, this one-of-a-kind camp allows participants to explore feelings and find inner strength.
Strengthening Memories
Our trained staff of counselors, therapists, and volunteers help children connect with others their own age who know what it is like to lose a loved one. By honoring memories and investing in new experiences, children and adults gain coping tools for the future.
Finding Laughter
Children’s groups involve the use of creative arts – music, art therapy, creative writing and drama – as a natural outlet of expression and understanding of feelings. Camp BraveHeart© also offers adults/caregivers an opportunity to address their own grief issues, reinforce coping skills, and receive education on their own grief process as well as how children grieve.
