Support Groups
Hospice of San Luis Obispo offers Support Groups which provide emotional support and education about the grief process and finding comfort through connecting with like-minded individuals. 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 a tax-deductible donations are always appreciated as we are a non-profit organization.
Virtual Support Groups
Starting March, 23, 2020 we will begin providing our support services 'virtually' in efforts to reduce exposure to the Coronavirus (COVID-19). HSLO support groups will be facilitated through 'Zoom Meetings' OR telephone with pre-registration and access code assignment. Individual grief counseling sessions will be available by appointment via telephone or Zoom Meetings with our grief counselors. Care management services will be provided by telephone. We regret that state regulations leave us unable to work with people outside of California.
