Transformation and Transition Through Grief
Support and bereavement groups may play an important role in the emotional well-being of clients as they are confronted with serious illness and/or a loss. Some participants claim the group gave them an emotional connection when they felt isolated from friends and family. This group offers information on coping and overcoming these feelings through the exchange of information and offers clients a chance to release powerful emotions they may otherwise keep to themselves.
Designed to be part psychoeducation and part supportive, this group meets each Wednesday from 12:30 – 2:00 PM via Zoom and is ongoing, meaning you can begin at any time.
