Full Circle Grief Center

Full Circle, a 501(c)3 organization, is Richmond's comprehensive grief resource center. The mission of Full Circle is to provide comprehensive, professional support to children, families, adults, and communities. Our organization is dedicated to children, adults, and families who need long-term, professional support as they work through their grief. We use creative expression to enable children to share their worries, fears, anger, sadness, and many other emotions that come along with experiencing the death of someone significant to them. Full Circle provides much needed grief support and educational resources to people in our community who are grieving the death of a loved one—free of charge. Each year we conduct five to seven eight-week family group sessions (HOH) at our center in Henrico County, and 15 to 20 eight-week school group sessions in Richmond City, Chesterfield County, and Henrico County at-risk schools. We have other specialized groups for those whose loved one experienced a suicide or perinatal death. Professional mental health clinicians lead the groups through discussions and conduct art-based projects that encourage participants to express their grief at their own pace and gradually to heal.
