The Universal Love Foundation has opened its House of Hope Center for Grief and Loss at 28720 Canwood St., Ste. 104, in Agoura Hills.

Support groups will meet at 6 p.m. Mondays starting Oct. 15.

The mission of the center, according to a spokesperson, is to "provide families in the Conejo Valley a safe environment where children, teens and their families grieving a death can embrace and share their grief and begin the healing process."

The center provides free peer support groups for children and their families and caregivers. All support groups are led by trained and certified volunteers.
