Still Your Dad Retreats
Our Still Your Dad Retreats offer a safe space for grieving fathers to rest, explore their grief, and form bonds with other fathers who are navigating the loss of a child. Our retreats are open to fathers who have lost a child under the age of 30, regardless of the circumstance or the length of time since their passing. If you are a grieving dad in need of support, we invite you to join us.
The Still Place Bereavement Retreats are peer-supported and do not provide therapeutic psychological care. Our retreats do not replace the care of psychologists or other health care professionals.
