Do you need to have experienced a specific type of loss to join?

The club does not specify any particular type of grief — it was founded to support any grieving student who can benefit from sharing their experiences in a trusted group.

Are meetings led by a counselor or therapist?

No — meetings are member-led, not professionally facilitated. The club originated from Tang Center grief group counseling, but the club itself is peer-run.

How did this club get started?

The founding members met each other in grief group counseling at the Tang Center and decided to create a broader community for grieving students on campus.

Good Grief at Berkeley is a peer support community for students who are grieving. Founded by students who met through Tang Center grief group counseling, the club holds weekly, member-led meetings where students share their experiences and support one another. The core value is simple: knowing you are not alone. No professional facilitation — just a trusted group of peers who understand loss firsthand.
