Grief Support
Dealing with the loss of a loved one is a difficult and very individual experience. The Journey Program works to educate the community about loss and to provide support for individuals and families, so that they may maintain good health throughout the grieving process.
Who is involved with The Journey Program?
Individual and group support from The Journey Program is all provided by bereavement care coordinators who are specially trained in grief and bereavement work. Their role is to listen, support and impart hope.
Who can participate
The Journey Program services are open to anyone in the community who has lost a loved one. You do not need to have received HCP services to participate. The services are available at no cost. Please call 717-732-1000 to see if The Journey Program is right for you and for more information about educational and support programs.

Free support
These programs are free to the community. Hospice of Central PA raises money, with the help of our generous community, to fund the services offered by The Journey Program. Occasionally, HCP asks for a nominal registration fee for a few popular programs with limited registration. This is only to ensure a commitment to attend. You are encouraged to ask for a scholarship if this fee is out of reach.
