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 support, 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.

When community comes together, healing happens.
We were honored to attend Max’s Mission’s 2nd Annual Purple Chair Event this past weekend where participants painted and decorated chairs in memory of someone lost to overdose or fentanyl poisoning.

The decorated chairs will be set out at the 10th Annual Overdose Awareness Day on Saturday, Sept. 26 in remembrance of loved ones lost, symbolizing the empty chairs families face from overdose loss.

WinterSpring will be there with a resource table. We will also have a separate tent where our facilitators will hold a circle. This is open to anyone in attendance.

Max’s Mission is a local organization that helps to raise awareness about overdose and distributes and holds trainings on how to administer Naloxone.

Come show your support!
