Welcome to The Compassionate Friends of Contra Costa County, California
We are a local chapter of a nationwide non-profit self-help organization offering friendship, understanding, and hope to families grieving the death of a child of any age from any cause. All (adult) family members are welcome. Our purpose is to promote and aid families in the positive resolution of grief upon the death of a child, sibling, or grandchild, and to foster the physical and emotional health of surviving family members.
We have regular meetings each month at our main location in Walnut Creek, as well as locations in San Leandro and Oakland. All family members are welcome -- most attendees are parents.
