Support Groups

As part of our ongoing commitment to assisting families through all stages of illness and bereavement, Hospice & Palliative Care of Iredell County offers a number of support groups designed to meet the needs of both adults and children who are coping with grief and loss.

All members of the community are invited to participate in these groups, regardless of whether they received other services from HPCIC. There is no fee to attend, but advanced registration is requested.

Grief Support

Recognizing that children react very differently to grief than adults, Rainbow Kidz provides one-one-one bereavement counseling tailored to their special needs. These services are available to any child or adolescent who has experienced the death of a friend or loved one.

Rainbow Retreat

This is an annual one-day bereavement camp for children and their families who are coping with grief in the wake of losing a loved one. There is no cost to attend, and the camp is open to all members of the community, regardless of whether they have received other services from HPCIC.

Prenatal Support

The Rainbow Kidz team is available at any time to provide one-on-one support for parents whose unborn child has a limited life expectancy.

Good Grief Groups

Led by social workers and bereavement counselors, these weekly group sessions are held in middle and high schools to help students who have suffered a loss.
