VOLUNTEER-FACILITATED SUPPORT GROUPS
The Austin Center for Grief & Loss offers volunteer-facilitated support groups using an online video platform as well as in-person. To inquire about a support group call 512.472.7878.
To create a safe and supportive environment for you and our group members, all new members must schedule an intake consultation with one of our therapists prior to their first group meeting. We cannot schedule an intake for new members the same day as their first group meeting.
Please note you must be a Texas resident to receive services provided by The Austin Center for Grief & Loss, including support groups.
CURRENT ONGOING GRIEF & LOSS VOLUNTEER-FACILITED SUPPORT GROUPS
Volunteer-facilitated support groups are ongoing and meet online 2 times per month, unless otherwise stated. Each group is facilitated by two trained volunteers and supervised by a licensed clinician. We strive to keep our groups small to foster safety and offer time to attend to each member. Please call our office at 512.472.7878 for more information.
Our registration/intake session for a support group is a one-time, $75.00 fee. It is the desire of Austin Grief for all who seek assistance to be served, regardless of financial situation. Our volunteer-facilitated groups are donation based. There are no ongoing fees to attend.
