Compassionate Bereavement Support for Healing and Hope
Grieving is never easy, but it’s always important. And MJHS is here to help you through this difficult time. We offer bereavement support and grief counseling for family members and friends to help them cope with loss. Services are available in person and online, allowing loved ones to participate in group sessions together, while offering flexible scheduling options. Our team members speak various languages and dialects and respect different cultures, customs and preferences surrounding the grieving and bereavement process.
We have grief counselors, clinical psychologists, and a whole bereavement team to support family and friends during the grieving process. Music therapists also help comfort grieving families.
As part of your family’s individualized plan, we’ll help you:
- Process feelings
- Learn what to expect
- Understand how grief changes over time
- Develop coping strategies
- Express feelings in Creative Arts Therapy
We offer bereavement support and education to help family and friends process their loss for up to 13 months following a loved one’s passing. We even offer anticipatory counseling to help you process your feelings of loss before the death of a loved one.
