Schorman Center Services 

The Schorman Center offers ongoing grief services to patients and families of Hospice of Warren County. We also offer our grief services to all children and adults who reside in Warren County.  Thanks in large measure to the generosity of the United Fund, Schorman Center Services are completely free of charge. The pandemic underscored the importance of continuing to make grief services available and being responsive to changing community needs.

The Schorman Center staff consists of a Bereavement Coordinator, 2 chaplains and 4 grief counselors.

You are invited to attend a 4-week workshop at the Schorman Center.

We know how difficult the time can be following the death of a loved one. The Schorman Center, Hospice of Warren County has planned a free Grief Support Workshop to help you through the challenges you may face. The workshop will consist of four consecutive weekly sessions, designed to be supportive, therapeutic, and educational.

We offer a Tuesday morning workshop that will meet from 10:00 – 11:30 AM. Workshops are in the conference room of the Hospice of Warren County office,
1 Main Ave., Warren.

The dates are February 13, 20, 27 and March 5, 2024. Each week builds on the previous session so attendance each week is very important.

Please call our office at 814-723-8060, by Wednesday February 7, to register, ask directions, or to discuss any questions you may have. We look forward to meeting with you 💜

YOGA for GRIEF RELIEF

Yoga for Grief Relief combines the practice of yoga with bereavement support. It is specifically designed to support body, mind, and spirit through the grief process. Yoga postures can assist in working through symptoms associated with grief such as poor sleep, intense emotions and holding stress in the body.

While we don't have talented dogs to assist us, we do have a wonderful yoga teacher and an experienced grief counselor to lead the class. Marilyn Eberhart, our teacher, and Maureen Emerling, our grief counselor, lead the class through breathing exercises, gentle yoga poses and guided relaxation.  Yoga sessions provide a safe space to explore thoughts and feelings in mind and body.

Join us every Wednesday at 5:15 PM, First Lutheran Church Old Fellowship Hall, 109 W. Third St., Warren. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Call 814-723-8060.
