Hope.

Strength.

Healing.

Companions on a Journey Grief Support, Inc. (COJ) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit social service organization that provides ongoing support for the bereaved – one child, one teen, one adult, one family at a time, surrounding them with HOPE, STRENGTH, and HEALING as they create their new life balance.

We believe you’re never too old or too young to benefit from the compassionate, healing support of community. We serve families, schools, businesses and organizations in the West Chester and Liberty Township area as well as throughout southwest Ohio, and virtually through our online programs. We offer a variety of monthly school and community-based support groups to meet each person wherever they are on their grief journey. Founded by Sheila Munafo-Kanoza in 1997, Companions on a Journey Grief Support, Inc. (COJ) was founded in faith, is rooted in God’s love and remains open to all. Grief does not discriminate and neither do we. All are welcome here.
