Grief can feel isolating, but you do not have to navigate it alone. Whether you need immediate crisis assistance, help finding a counselor, a support group for a specific type of loss, or trustworthy educational resources, the Transitions GriefCare Community Resource Guide can help you find a place to begin.
Support for a Wide Range of Needs
The guide brings together local and online resources for individuals and families throughout North Carolina. It includes information about:
- 24-hour crisis lines and mobile crisis teams
- Behavioral health urgent care locations
- Counseling and mental health providers
- Community grief support groups
- Support following suicide, homicide, substance-related death, or the loss of a child

Finding the Right Kind of Help
Choosing a counselor or mental health provider can feel overwhelming, especially while grieving. The guide explains the differences between professionals who can prescribe medication and those who primarily provide talk therapy. It also offers suggestions for finding care through private insurance, Medicaid, county programs, and online counselor directories.
Grief Support That Reflects Your Experience
There is no single way to grieve, and different losses may require different kinds of support. The guide includes specialized resources for people grieving the death of a spouse or partner, parent, child, friend, or pet. It also identifies programs for children, teenagers, young adults, widowed parents, and people with special needs.
