GIERS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides services to assist individuals, families, and organizations recovering from a wide range of losses. We use a large variety of therapeutic modalities including psychodrama, creative arts, action techniques, education, and counseling to help people develop coping skills and facilitate a successful transition toward a healthy recovery. GIERS will also educate and train professionals and other community members to understand and aid people experiencing grief.

GIERS activities include:

• Bereavement groups for adults, teens, and children
• Humanity Players education program
• Recovery services for losses including loss of a loved one, physical or mental health, job, home, miscarriage, divorce, disenfranchised losses, such as from abortion, AIDS, suicide, and pet loss
• Individual and family grief counseling for adults, teens, and children
• Community education programs addressing relevant issues of grief and loss
• Training programs for community members interested in assisting others with grief issues
• A “helpline” grief support referral service

As we obtain additional funding, we will add more innovative programming.

There is no charge to attend The Mourning After. Voluntary donations are encouraged.
