Please note that our short-term grief support is not a form of therapy. Our goal is to provide a bridge to HOPE by helping you take intentional steps towards healing. If we determine that our services will not match the scope of your needs, we will refer you to other organizations in your area. Below are some throughout the Twin Cities that offer long-term support, trauma therapy or psychiatric care; please check their websites for information on insurance and scheduling.
