The Compassionate Friends is a national non-profit, self-help support organization offering friendship, understanding, and hope to families grieving the death of a child of any age, from any cause. There is no religious affiliation and there are no membership dues or fees. We are solely funded by donations and receive no funding from Federal/State governments or organizations.
The Mission of The Compassionate Friends is to assist families toward the positive resolution of grief following the death of a child of any age and to provide information to help others be supportive. We recommend using the TCF National Web Site to learn more about the history and mission of the organization. Plus there are readings and many features there that may benefit you.
The San Diego Chapter was formed in the 1970’s to support families in the San Diego geographic area. There are other Southern California chapters in the Los Angeles area. Plus we have plenty of helpful links on the Resouces Links page.
