Ventura County CA Chapter of The Compassionate Friends

The Compassionate Friends (T.C.F.) is a national nonprofit, self-help support organization that offers friendship and understanding to families who are grieving the death of a child of any age, from any cause. There is no religious affiliation. There are no membership fees or dues, and all bereaved family members are welcomed.

The mission of The Compassionate Friends is to assist families in the positive resolution of grief following the death of a child and to provide information to help others be supportive. The secret of T.C.F.'s success is simple: As seasoned grievers reach out to the newly bereaved, energy that has been directed inward begins to flow outward and both are helped to heal.

In our chapter of T.C.F. we have learned that the death of our child caused a pain that can best be understood fully by another bereaved parent. As our own grief subsides, knowing that all need love and support, we reach out  to those who still feel alone and abandoned. We also provide grief information and education to the community.

We meet at the Boys & Girls Club of Camarillo, 1500 Temple Avenue, Camarillo, CA 93011, 1-805-981-1573 the first and third Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m.
