Jubalive Grief Recovery® Outreach classes will be funded through fees for service, contracts, and grants, along with business and individual sponsorship. Also, we encourage collaboration in the form of publicity and referrals.

Jubalive's mission is to work with individuals, organizations, and communities in creating a society that is strengthened and empowered by managing life after losses. Through its initiatives, Jubalive will lead efforts to increase communication and understanding of the impact of losses on their lives. Participants may learn how grief results from societal issues and their backgrounds. Through managing losses, participants may become motivated to address some of the important systemic issues that accompany multiple losses.

We accomplish this through our 12-week group classes offered to adults and high school students. A special 7-week group class, 'When Children Grieve,' is designed for adults who work with children and youth. One on one classes are provided as 7-week programs.
