Our groups are open-ended which means that participants can attend for as long as is helpful in their grief process. If you are having trouble deciding whether you are ready to close from your group, our Group Coordinators are more than happy to have a conversation with you about things to consider for your family.

If you're a teen thinking about joining a Pathways group, you can find information on what to expect here.

We aim for you and your family to get started as quickly as possible. If there is a waitlist for your group, we do our best to accommodate families’ needs as much as possible. The more flexible your schedule, the quicker we can get you started.

Dougy Center’s mission is to provide peer support to children and teens who have a parent or sibling living with an advanced serious illness or are grieving a death. A child or teen must be participating for the adults in the family to attend groups. The Pathways Coordinator can help direct you to other resources if your child(ren) choose not to participate. Adult groups at Dougy Center are optional, however most adults find the group supportive and helpful. Adults who choose not to participate must remain onsite for liability, medical, and safety reasons.
