Grief Counseling and Support Groups
Grief Counseling Services: Monument Health Hospice offer individual, couples, and family grief counseling. Counselors are licensed professional social workers with specialized training and experience in grief and loss. Since people grieve differently, we offer counseling to meet the distinctive needs of different age groups and types of loss.
Support Groups: Monument Health Hospice have educational, supportive grief groups available. These groups bring people together who have experienced loss and provide a safe environment to share experiences and learn from one another. We provide a variety of groups throughout the year in Custer, Belle Fourche, Hot Springs, Rapid City, Spearfish and Sturgis.
