About Our Programs
“Michael’s Place has been incredibly comforting and loving to me. The Women’s Group has brought me so much support and motherly love since my mom passed away. It is the most sacred, comfortable place to share and express your grief.” — Michael’s Place Attendee
At Michael’s Place, we believe people experiencing grief deserve a place where they can feel understood, connected, and cared for. We offer grief programs and resources for children, teens, adults, and families, as well as education for those who support someone who is grieving.
Our in-house programs are provided at no cost, offering a welcoming place to connect with others who understand, learn about grief, and find meaningful ways to navigate life after a death.
Because every person’s experience is different, we offer a variety of opportunities to meet people where they are, from peer support groups and individual peer navigation to family programs, workshops, and special events. Whether someone is looking for connection, guidance, or simply a place to begin, we’re here to help.
We also work with schools, workplaces, professionals, and community organizations to build greater understanding of grief and strengthen the ways our communities respond to loss.

Support Programs for Adults
Michael’s Place offers programs that foster a supportive environment among peers who understand.
Support Programs for Youth and Families
Children grieve differently than adults. The way they grieve also varies according to their age. That’s why we have grief support programs and events designed specifically for youth and their families.
Community Support Services
Michael’s Place offers guidance, support, and training to schools, businesses, and organizations throughout the region that have experienced a death.
