WinterSpring

WinterSpring WinterSpring helps children, teens and adults who are experiencing the pain of loss embrace life again. Thank you for your understanding.

We are part of La Clinica and its learning and support service, The Learning Well. What We Do

WinterSpring creates a safe and confidential environment for sharing, learning, and healing through grief. Through shared stories, connection to other grievers, and tools for healthy grieving, we can all find healing for our losses. Our team offers compassionate phone support, assessment, group grief sup

port, resources, and referrals using the companioning model of grief support developed by Dr. Alan Wolfelt. WinterSpring also offers grief education for organizations and individuals interested in creating understanding about and support for grief. Call our program staff for support today: 541-552-0620

All WinterSpring grief support groups are provided free of charge. WinterSpring provides individual support and peer-to-peer support groups. We do not offer therapy or professional counseling, therefore insurance policies do not cover our services. We provide facilitated peer-to-peer support groups for adults and facilitated groups for teens and children. We also offer information and training on the process and impact of grief and loss on individuals and families through our volunteer training and our outreach programs. Just as loved ones are celebrated and acknowledged in a funeral service, WinterSpring also offers people the opportunity to honor a loved one by having a name engraved in a stone at our Memorial Grove Wall of Remembrance in the Donahue-Fronmayer Park in Medford. Every year on Memorial Day weekend, we have a ceremony to honor the new stone engravings and those from past years. Rituals like this help people to cope long after the death when the ache still lives in their hearts. We work to collaborate with as many related groups as possible to spread our compassionate work into the community. Since 2022, WinterSpring has been part of La Clinica and its learning and support service, The Learning Well.

We gathered to honor family, friends, and community members this past weekend at WinterSpring's Memorial Grove. It was a beautiful day filled with tears, laughter, and reflection.

Together, we were touched by the heartfelt words of those who spoke and performed. This event serves as a reminder each year of the immense love that is a part of loss.

The Wall of Remembrance at Memorial Grove has been a place to connect with loved ones for over 25 years and is located at Donahue-Frohnmayer Park Medford.

Thank you for sharing with us and for allowing WinterSpring to walk with you on your grief journey.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has contributed to WinterSpring throughout its compassionate 37-year-history. This past weekend we gathered to celebrate the impact and hope this program provides.

Each conversation, shared story, and person in the room reminded us of the joy and community that somehow finds its way through grief and loss.

WinterSpring has been through its own journey throughout the years, at times feeling untethered. We are in a stronger position now more than ever thanks to the partnership of La Clinica and The Learning Well.

From the original group of people who first met individuals on their grief journeys in 1989, to the friends who shared their office space with us before we had a home base, to the many supporters who are making our efforts possible today — thank you.

A heartfelt thank you to Oregon Pacific Bank, our amazing sponsors, and Naumes Suncrest Winery who hosted us in their lovely space to make this event possible.

WinterSpring offers a safe and confidential environment for sharing, learning, and healing through grief. Together, we create a more grief-informed community.

We are so appreciative of the energy, authenticity, and unique presence each person brought and contributed to our Noticing Workshop at The Learning Well last week!

The "Noticing Practice" is one tool of many that we teach our peer-to-peer group facilitators. It's a useful skill in groups and in our personal lives.

WinterSpring welcomes community members who are interested in joining our trainings anytime. Email us at [email protected] for information on what we have available.

Take a look inside WinterSpring’s Children’s Grief Program and how it helps young people feel seen, supported, and not alone.

This program provides a safe, compassionate space where teens and children, ages six and up, along with parents and caregivers supporting grieving children, can share their experiences and create community.

Through age-appropriate group support and guided activities led by compassionate facilitators, participants discover they are not alone and that healing is possible.

If your child or teen is navigating grief, WinterSpring is here to help.

WinterSpring is a program of The Learning Well, a service of La Clinica.
