Center for Solace (formerly Brattleboro Area Hospice) is offering support for people living with Serious Illnesses.
Are you going through treatment? Feeling overwhelmed or scared? Living with a chronic illness or autoimmune condition? Talking with others may help.
The Serious Illness Program support groups provide a space for people to share personal experiences, feelings, coping strategies, and allow for shared learning.
Are you looking for a way to be involved in building community?
Volunteering at Center for Solace can make a direct impact on your neighbors and other local folks who need support!
Serious illness, hospice, and bereavement volunteers at Center for Solace undergo about 25 hours of training, and then work directly with clients, either one on one or facilitating support groups. You’ll learn to be a supportive presence to a person or family going through a difficult time.
In the midst of multiple challenges happening in our world, living with the growing effects of climate change can be overwhelming. Feelings such as grief, sadness, fear, guilt, despair, and helplessness can be held in community as we witness the ongoing destruction of our planetary home.
Join us on January 7th at 6pm as we slow down and create a place where we can share our feelings about what we are witnessing. This is not a venue for problem solving, it’s a place to express and share our feelings about how the earth is rapidly changing.
Come join us in December to explore this universal topic: whatever we may celebrate, losing or missing a loved one at holidays (or birthdays & other milestones) can certainly compound our grief. How do we hold space for that added emotion, as well as honor the lives of those we’ve lost?
Center for Solace invites you to be part of its magical Annual Lantern Walk on November 7 — and this year, there’s a special twist! You can create your very own lantern to carry during the walk, adding a personal glow to this heartwarming community tradition.
Join artist Robin Davis for a fun, hands-on lantern-making workshop on October 15 and 22, from 4–6 PM in the downstairs room at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church, 16 Bradley Ave, Brattleboro. Open to all ages — kids will love it, and adults will too! Come craft, connect, and get ready to shine.
Center for Solace invites you to be part of a beautiful tradition as we once again light up Main Street with our Annual Lantern Walk — a moving evening of remembrance, community, and hope.
On Friday, November 7, from 5:30–7:00 PM, we’ll gather at the Brattleboro Common on Park Place and begin with a heartfelt Ceremony of Remembrance, then walk together down Main Street, lanterns in hand, lighting the way with the love and memories we hold for those we’ve lost.
