Adult Bereavement Group Facilitators

We are seeking volunteers to serve as facilitators for bereavement groups! CaringMatters provides adult support groups that allow participants to meet others who are also grieving, share their stories, and learn from one another. Specialized groups include adult child loss, parent loss, sibling or friend loss, spousal loss, and suicide loss. Additional groups are formed based on community need.

All volunteers must go through our general three-day volunteer training and then a shorter additional adult bereavement training. Volunteers must also complete a background check.

After completing both trainings, they are assigned in two-person teams to co-facilitate 1-hours-long meetings. The frequency of meetings varies. Some groups meet during the day, but most meet on weeknights from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm. Currently, most of the adult support groups are meeting online via Zoom.

We do not offer SSL hours for this volunteer opportunity. Volunteers need to be 21 or older.
