Helping and healing after loss
St. John Health provides support groups, spiritual care (pastoral care) and social workers to assist families facing difficult and painful situations such as serious illness and death of a loved one. For information about services for families and patients, see Patient Support Services.
Additionally, Open Arms, a grieving children’s support and prevention program, helps children of all ages and their family members normalize grief and embrace life again by learning to cope with feelings of sadness, anger, or frustration.
