We know what it’s like to grieve.
And we aren’t afraid to talk about it.
Welcome to The Dinner Party
Your grief is yours alone, but that doesn’t mean you need to be alone in your grieving. Our grief groups (Tables) are organized by peer grievers (Hosts) who have been trained by our staff. We have groups meeting in-person and virtually, including affinity spaces for specific loss experiences and/or identities.
When you support The Dinner Party, you're not just funding programs. You're creating unique spaces where grief and hope and rage and love all have a place. You’re building strong communities where young adults can be themselves and find forward motion in their grief. Give grievers the community they crave.
New adult friendships are
hard enough to find.
Let alone when you’re grieving.
The Dinner Party connects young adult grievers to a caring and supportive community of peers who help each other navigate loss, life, and all the stuff in between. Because grief isn’t a problem that needs solving, but the loneliness that comes with it is.
What Makes The Dinner Party Different:
Not your typical grief group.
We’re really sick of traditional grief support options kind of sucking. But, you know that feeling when you’re around the people who seem to just “get you”? Maybe they have similar cultures, identities or loss experience? Whatever it is, connect with those people in a space that’s safe, accessible, personal, and maybe even…fun? Ya we said it. Grief support can be fun.
The peer-to-peer promise.
Our goal is to ensure that when you’re with others in The Dinner Party community, you don’t have to explain the complicated hues of this grief-thing to someone making pity-eyes at you, you get to feel that “oh my god, me too” feeling, and that you can just be with others who get it.
The ability to pick your own path.
We know that your grief is just that, yours. So, we offer programs so that you can mix-and-match, with our heart-forward Community Experience Team ready to offer support and help guide you to what would feel most healing. Start a community of fellow grievers based on how you want to connect, where you want to gather, and over what shared experience you’d like to connect around.
