Support Groups
Hospice SLO County offers Support Groups that provide emotional support and education about the grief process and are about finding comfort through connecting with others who have had a similar experience.
Support Group meetings are offered according to the needs of the community and often change to meet those needs. The current schedule of support groups is online and regularly updated.
Please note that all meetings are offered without charge, although tax-deductible donations are always appreciated as we are a non-profit organization.
Groups are conducted in person and on Zoom and pre-registration is required to attend 24 hours in advance. Click on the “Sign Up” button below the listing of the group you would like to attend.
For virtual groups, after registering, you will receive an automatic message with the link to the Zoom meeting. Please check your spam folder if it does not arrive immediately. Please contact us directly at (805) 544-2266 if you do not receive an email or have any problems or questions. Click Here for Instructions on How to Attend a Virtual Support Group.
