School Services
For more than 32 years, we have provided specialized counseling to grieving children and teens. Many came from families who had not received Hospice services and were referred by local therapists, school counselors, or parents after a significant, traumatic, or sudden loss. The community turns to Hospice & Community Care for grief resources. If you know a child or teen who you think may benefit from bereavement support and resources, please contact us at 803-329-1500 or info@hospicecommunitycare.org
Hospice & Community Care is available to assist school administrators through our school outreach program. We can present in-services to teachers and parents, arrange presentations for students on grief-related topics and issues, along with providing educational resources on children and grief. If you would like information on Hospice & Community Care’s School Support Programs, please contact us at 803-329-1500, 1-800-895-CARE or info@hospicecommunitycare.org.

Workplace Support
There are many faces of grief in the workplace. The caregiver, the grieving employee, the death of an employee, and crisis reactions all impact the workplace. Balancing compassion and productivity may be difficult for employers.
The hidden impact of grief and loss on the workplace may be seen through unexpected tardiness or absenteeism, decreased concentration, increased accidents, and decreased production. Hospice & Community Care offers specialized training, education, and support initiatives to help workplaces become more sensitive to grieving employees.
