Grief Therapist (contract position)

Full Circle's mission is to provide comprehensive, professional bereavement support to children, adults, families, and the community.

The Center provides grief counseling groups, consulting services, and bereavement educational programs. In fall 2018, Full Circle added individual counseling to our menu of services.
