Peer support groups are open-ended. Participants may join groups at any time during the year after attending an Orientation. Because grief is unique to each individual, children and their families decide their length of participation at the CBC.

Orientations are held monthly for families considering participation, and for other interested persons looking to learn about the Center. To register for an Orientation, call 305-668-4902.

Children's Groups*
Peer Support Groups are open to children (age 5-18) who have lost a parent, sibling, grandparent, relative, or friend as a result of illness, accident, suicide, or homicide. Losses can be recent or in years past. The CBC offers:

• Elementary School Groups (Younger: kindergarten - 2nd grade; Older: 3rd - 5th grade) 
• Middle School Groups
• High School Groups

Young Adult Groups*
The Young Adult Peer Support Group, called Lift From Loss (for ages 18-32), who have lost a significant person in their life. The group meets Tuesday Evenings on the UM Campus at Hillel (1100 Stanford Drive). For more information/Orientation call the CBC office or visit the Lift From Loss site.

Adult Groups*
The CBC also offers support groups for adults who play a significant role in a child's life and adults with personal loss. The CBC offers:

• Parent/Caregiver support groups (grieving the loss of a child, spouse, friend or relative) in English and Spanish (CBC en espanol).
• Adult support groups (CBC supported or community based referral) for adults with no participating children.
