NEW: Special Programs and Workshops for Life Transition Issues

We Heard…
You when you communicated that grief and loss accompany many of life’s journeys and your need for grief support went beyond death-related support services.

We Responded…
By expanding our scope and mission to include services to support and companion people through all of life’s journeys.

In 2009, The Healing Place: A Center for Life’s Journeys added support services, short-term counseling, classes and workshops for those coping with non-death-related life transitions including:

• Divorce or separation
• Illness
• Disability
• Job changes
• Military deployment
• Retirement

Our counseling services continue to be offered at no cost.
