Kara Kara provides bereavement support to children, teens, families and adults. Kara is dedicated to ensuring that therapy services are accessible to the community.

Our vision is to see people of all ages compassionately supported on their journey through grief so they can move toward renewed hope and meaning. Kara services offer emotional support and information to those grieving a death or coping with a terminal illness. Kara provides a safe place to express and normalize feelings of grief, to learn to integrate grief and move forward with renewed hope and

meaning. Kara offers both peer support and therapy

Kara peer services are provided by volunteers with experience in healing from their own personal loss; volunteers who are carefully screened, trained and supervised. Donations are gratefully accepted as we do not charge a fee for peer support services. Grief therapy services are provided by interns who have completed their course requirements and are working on their client hours for licensing. Therefore Kara provides services for a reasonable fee and program staff will be happy to discuss the fee schedule with you. Kara does not espouse a particular religion or philosophy. We encourage those we serve to draw strength from their own personal spiritual beliefs, family, friends and other community resources to build sustaining support.

Join us for Together in Grief: A Day of Learning and Connection, a community event open to people of all ages.

The day begins with a Community Resource Fair (12:00–1:00 p.m.), where local organizations will share information, services, and support for individuals and families experiencing loss.

Afterward, join us for an evening of community, with a children's zone featuring age- and developmentally appropriate grief activities and caregiver workshops. Our goal is to explore, through conversation, activities, and community, what grief means, how it affects us, and how we can support one another through it.

Everyone is welcome — come as you are, and leave feeling a little more connected.

"Kara has been a true lifeline for me, time and again, throughout these first five years since my partner's passing. The facilitators and fellow group members have stood by me through moments of joy and the most profound lows. Words hardly seem enough to express my gratitude for the safe, compassionate support I've found at Kara - it's been a source of strength I didn't know I needed."
