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 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 a tax-deductible donations are always appreciated as we are a non-profit organization.
