Our service mission includes care of grieving persons, education of health care students in the care of the bereaved and research in loss and grief. We offer a variety of grief support groups through out the years that help individuals cope with different kinds of loss.

Since 1998, Juvenile Justice and Youth Services (JJYS) of the State of Utah has contracted with the University of Utah College of Nursing (CON) to provide medical care for youth in statewide facilities. Our goal is to provide optimal care for the physical and mental well-being of incarcerated youth while educating future health care providers. We work in a holistic manner to address current and potential health problems for the youth under our care. The CON/JJYS nursing staff and faculty also serve as clinical mentors for registered nurse, nurse practitioner, and physician assistant students and medical school residents.
