Support Groups

Support Groups

Any change in life often brings a feeling of loss and grief. Grief support groups are for anyone who has had a loss; the groups are led by trained facilitators who may help people through the grieving process and in finding their “new normal”. We encourage tears, validate emotions, and we listen. All groups are free of charge.

Drop in Support Groups: Offered every Tuesday from 4:00 – 6:00 pm (for the Month of December drop in group offered every Thursday from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm)

Purpose: People grieve very differently and can benefit from this grief support group, where feelings are respected and group members learn what is normal during the grieving process, and that everyone grieves at their own pace in their own way. Grieving cannot be jumped over or skirted around-it is a journey in which you must go through.

Specialized Support Groups:

Grieving cannot be jumped over or skirted around-it is a journey in which you must go through. Are set up as needed, and can be located any place in our service area.
