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.

Language matters. Choosing supportive words can help people feel seen, heard, and respected.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Please remember that grief is part of your mental health, and that speaking to yourself with compassion is just as important.

"My sister will die over and over again for the rest of my life. Grief is forever. It doesn't go away; it becomes a part of you, step for step, breath for breath. I will never stop grieving [her] because I will never stop loving her. That's just how it is. Grief and love are conjoined, you don't get one without the other. All I can do is love her, and love the world, emulate her by living with daring and spirit and joy."

“It was a safe space to talk to someone who was dedicated to listening and helping. I received insight into how others view death and grief. It was valuable to hear other perspectives that pulled me out of my own circular thoughts. It was a coincidence to have an available counselor with a similar cultural background and could understand and help me navigate my feelings. That aspect made a big difference in this instance. Indirectly, I feel connected to others when I am able to offer my experience with Kara to someone who may need grief support."

"When great souls die, after a period of peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration. Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us. They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed."

El duelo no termina con una sola despedida. A veces, seguimos enfrentando pérdidas secundarias —cambios en nuestras rutinas, relaciones y sentido de identidad— que también requieren ser reconocidas y acompañadas.

En este taller comunitario, exploraremos juntos las muchas formas en que el duelo se manifiesta y cómo encontrar apoyo, significado y conexión en medio de la pérdida. A través de la conversación, la reflexión y los ejercicios guiados, crearemos un espacio seguro para compartir y sanar en comunidad.
