At some point along our grief journey, we begin to regain some energy and desire to reach out and help other bereaved families.  If, and when, that time comes for you, please know that there are unlimited ways in which you can help.

Some things can be done without ever leaving your home, while others involve more of a time and energy commitment.  Remember, unless you take good care of yourselves and family, you will not have the emotional and/or physical stamina to take care of others.

Each chapter of The Compassionate Friends is governed by a Steering Committee made up of that chapter's members. The Steering Committee members are sort of the butterflies of Spring.  They are people who have attended chapter meetings for some time and who have come to understand the important role that the chapter support group played in their own bereavement process.  They have passed through enough grief process to begin to emerge from their cocoons and approach life again.  They are ready to do the things it takes to keep the chapter active and make the meetings, and special events and functions happen.

If you have reached a place you would like to assist with the Reno or Carson City Chapters, please contact us, we welcome and appreciate your help and support.
