In practice

Ways We Partner

Healthcare & Hospice

For: Hospice teams, hospital chaplaincy, palliative care groups, bereavement coordinators, family-services teams.

What it looks like: A hospice refers grieving families to our Group Grief Recovery cohort. Holly facilitates the 8-week program; your team supports families through the journey and re-engages them afterward.

Why it works: Your bereavement team gets a structured, evidence-based program to refer families into — not just a phone number.

Churches & Faith Groups

For: Congregations, small groups, women’s and men’s ministries, parish nurses, pastoral-care teams.

What it looks like: A congregation hosts an 8-week Grief Recovery group in its fellowship hall. Holly leads; the church provides the space, invites members and the surrounding community, and walks with participants spiritually alongside the program.

Why it works: The Grief Recovery Method is faith-friendly without being denomination-specific — it complements pastoral care rather than replacing it.

Funeral Homes, Vets & Veteran Orgs

For: Funeral directors, veterinary clinics, pet-loss communities, veteran service organizations, VA family programs.

What it looks like: A funeral home or vet clinic offers a quarterly grief workshop for recent families. RHO provides the curriculum, the facilitator, and the follow-up paths; you provide the space and the relationship.

Why it works: A community that’s already grieving needs more than a sympathy card. A workshop turns one moment of loss into months of support.

Common Questions

Does our community need a certain size or budget?

No. Partnerships scale from a single workshop for a small group to ongoing 8-week cohorts for a larger congregation or hospice network. Speaking and program fees are scaled to your organization’s size and resources — Restoring Hearts is a nonprofit.

Is the Grief Recovery Method faith-based?

The method itself is evidence-based, not denominationally tied — it works inside faith communities and outside them. Many of our church partners use it as a structured complement to existing pastoral care.

What’s the typical lead time?

Two to four weeks is comfortable for most workshops. A full 8-week cohort needs a little more lead time so we can promote and enroll. Tight turnarounds can sometimes be accommodated — ask.

Can we host virtually?

Yes. In-person is preferred for the deeper cohorts, but virtual and hybrid formats are available for organizations outside our Central Florida service area or with distributed teams.
