NextSteps For Mourners
Sinai's professionals have always provided immediate practical
and supportive services to the bereaved, and have well understood the trauma
that the death of a loved one can incur. They know that grief is a naturally
painful, depressing and isolating state that affects every aspect of
a mourner's physical, emotional and cognitive life. NextSteps provides
highly individualized care utilizing Jewish tradition and clinical practice to successfully support mourners as they move through their grief,
integrate their losses, and reinvest in life.
The NextSteps program
is offered at no
cost to all Sinai Mourners .
This
service is provided in an alliance with the Bay Area Jewish Healing Center by experienced griefcare specialists through
telephone consultation, and/or in-person visits with mourning families
or individuals who choose to participate. Its goal is to provide assessment,
support, basic grief aftercare, and linkage to appropriate healing
opportunities.

In addition to one-on-one consultation, and in collaboration with other community agencies, NextSteps provides
community-based programs for mourners, griefcare professionals, schools,
organizations, and lay persons. These programs include Grief & Growing,
a professionally guided bereavement retreat weekend, Azkarah
Healing Services, and the Professional Grief Caregivers'
Network.
