Program areas at Hope Floats Healing and Wellness Center

Breadth of outreach: Since its formation in 2008, Hope Floats Healing and Wellness Center, Inc. has served an estimated 4,000 individuals with our free support groups, support retreats, wellness classes and educational programs. Our nonprofit draws from a broad, diverse region primarily south of Boston, including the South Shore and South Coast, Cape Cod, and into the western suburbs. Many of our clients are financially disadvantaged families who otherwise would be unable to afford grief support services. Hope Floats serves about 700 people a year. This includes about 80 children and 55 adults attending both Mike's Club (October- May) and our summer camp, plus additional children and adults who may be added in the winter/spring to Mike's Club. Through October of 2022, we also serve another 110 adults in ten groups for a variety of losses, including suicide, overdose, partner-spouse, an LGBTQ group, and a pregnancy and infant loss group; and also another 40 adult caregivers who attend Parenting Grieving Children workshops; 40 children and caregivers who gather during Hope Floats family nights; 50-60 adults at bereavement support retreats; 40 adults at our cancer and caregiver support retreats; 30 children and adults served by grief support liaisons; and about 300 people who attend the annual Hope Floats Memory Walk in addition to those enrolled in our services who participate. How we measure outcomes: Hope Floats' criteria for success starts with meeting people where they are, which requires having trained peer volunteer facilitators and caring, experienced clinicians. Our team includes both, and we do regular facilitator training and check-ins to discuss strategies to serve our support groups. Measurable outcomes for children include their growth in understanding or processing the traumatic event, expressing feelings, remembering loved ones,and normalizing their grief. For families and adults, specific outcomes include gaining coping skills to deal with stress, or answering a child's questions, and preparing for difficult touchstones such as birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries. In general, we measure success for our families by assessing their ability to address their grief together and steps they are taking to improve their well-being. Please see attached statement for additional information.
