Free Grief Support Available for Simi Valley Residents

Hospice of the Conejo, a nonprofit volunteer agency based in Thousand Oaks, facilitates nearly 50 grief support meetings monthly for people who have experienced the loss of a loved one—including pets.

 

These groups deliver crucial emotional relief and social support, particularly in the early stages of grief, acting as a significant protective factor against grief-related depression and anxiety.

 

The free support services are available to all community members, not just those who have used hospice services. Each meeting is facilitated by trained volunteers who understand the complex journey of grief.

 

For Simi Valley residents dealing with the loss of a family member, friend, or beloved pet, these support groups offer a safe space to share experiences and find comfort among others who understand.

 

Meeting times and locations vary throughout the month. Residents interested in attending can contact Hospice of the Conejo directly for the current schedule and to find a group that fits their needs.
