New Hope offers six programs of peer-led grief support for adults, children and families. This one-pager pairs those verified programs with a proposed partner pathway: training, scholarships and seasonal campaigns.
What happens, and when
- · Discovery with Sonya Lowe and staff
- · Confirm needs and boundaries
- · Agree what training is and is not
- · One workplace cohort
- · One school-staff session with district approval
- · Volunteer refresher
- · Scholarship underwriting
- · Holiday campaign partners
- · Stewardship report to supporters
- · Partner renewals
- · Evaluate with New Hope
- · Expand only where capacity exists
Support lines
- · Scholarship underwriting for group registration
- · Proposed workplace grief-literacy workshops
- · Corporate sponsorship of New Hope for the Holidays
- · Foundation renewals with existing funders
- · Employee matching-gift discussions
- · Community events co-hosted with partners
Risk frame
- · Training must never be marketed as therapy or clinical treatment
- · No partnership claims without written approval
- · Staff and facilitator capacity limits growth
- · Grant cycles and eligibility must be verified
- · No personal bereavement stories without consent
The holidays and the school year are recurring moments when grief surfaces. A calendar-aware plan meets people at those moments.
Two decades of peer-led support with existing community partners such as CSULB, USC, LBUSD and City of Long Beach Health & Human Services.
Partners get a practical way to help, and support stays in the hands of the people who already do it well.
