Support Groups
- Reflections of Life and Loss - Grief Support Group
Barton Hospice encourages people who have experienced the loss of a loved one or have endured a significant, life-altering event to attend. This group helps teach attendees how to cope with certain situations and encourages emotional connections with others. Support and bereavement groups allow people to release emotions they may otherwise keep to themselves. It can improve a participant's mood and decrease psychological distress.
For more information contact Tina Bruess at 530.543.5592.
- Crawl Space (formerly Mommy & Me Support Group)
New parents and their babies or toddlers are invited to attend FREE weekly groups to share experiences and discuss the joys and challenges of parenting.
