CVHHH hosts a Bereavement Support Group every other Monday evening from 7:00-9:00 pm at the CVHHH office in Berlin. The group is open to anyone who has experienced the death of a loved one. There is no fee, and anyone may attend any session.

The goal of the Bereavement Support Group is to provide a safe and supportive environment for the exploration of changes brought to our lives by the death of a loved one. The focus is to learn together how to cope with grief, by receiving and offering support to each other. The group is informal, and includes personal sharing of grief experiences. Relevant handouts accompany each session; books and videos are available on loan.

The CVHHH Caregiver Support Group is a free workshop and informational training program for those who provide caregiving for a sick family member or friend. Held on pre-selected and publicized Tuesdays from 10:00-11:30 am at CVHHH, Caregiver Support is designed to help community members who are caregivers for those with Cancer, Heart Disease, COPD, Dementia, Parkinson's, ALS, and other life-limiting illnesses.

At the Caregiver Support Group you will learn more about:

• the experience of caregiving
• the meaning of life
• identifying resources
• completion and closure
• bereavement, loss and mourning
• renewal and re-socialization
