Peer grief support program components
Building blocks for support that fits your community or organization.
These components are not competing program paths. They are forms of support that may be selected as a focused service or combined inside a customized peer grief support program.

Peer Grief Helper Support
Strengthen communication, collaboration, technical assistance, and connection for people who are grieving while supporting others.
Staff Grief Support
Support teams affected by grief exposure through groups, training, resilience and community-building work, and organization-specific projects.
Peer Support for Harm Reduction Workers
Explore peer support designed for harm reduction workers and teams affected by ongoing loss.
Equity-Centered Design
