What happens at Orientation?
Our 60-minute orientations are led by Dougy Center staff. You will learn a little about Dougy Center while you tour our facility, visit an expression room, watch a video on Dougy Center, and have a chance to ask questions.
You will be provided a Family Questionnaire to complete and return if you are interested in our programs.

Some people are ready for grief support immediately after the death and others wait.
Our groups are ongoing and you can attend for as long as you need. You are welcome to call us at 503.775.5683 at any time.
