COMMUNITY TRAININGS
All trainings through June 2021 will be provided on an online platform until we can once again do group trainings in-person. Email jodie@bosplace.org to be added to email list for future training notifications.

GENERAL UPDATES
Bo’s Place continues to monitor conditions in Houston and Harris County in making decisions related to the appropriate timing to safely bring staff, volunteers and families back to Bo’s Place for in-person grief support services.

In light of the continued severe and uncontrolled level of COVID-19 cases in Houston, we are following the advice of our local officials and leadership from the Texas Medical Center to continue to do our part to help slow the spread of this dangerous virus. As such, Bo’s Place staff will continue to work remotely for the next several weeks as we join our community in doing everything possible to help flatten the curve once again, which includes limiting our potential exposure to those not in our immediate households. Bo’s Place staff will continue to do our work supporting the community from home.

Bo’s Place continues to work with our staff and board of directors to assess the COVID-19 situation in our community and to develop contingency plans for the next 12 to 18 months. We recognize that we will need to be able to seamlessly deliver our grief support services in person or virtually as circumstances dictate.

Let’s all stay positive, safe and healthy – stay home when possible, maintain a social distance of at least six feet, wash hands regularly, wear a face covering and, if sick, get tested and self-quarantine.
