Grief Transition Support Group - DAY
Tuesdays, September 24 - November 12, 2:00 - 3:30 p.m.
This 8-week peer-led support group is designed for adults who lost a loved one more than one year ago and have previously received formal grief support services (individual counseling and/or support groups). This group will explore some of the challenges adults might face as they transition to living their life without their loved one and provide strategies and tools to help adults more autonomously live without the need for formal grief support. During this group, there will be time and space to process in an environment of safety, non-judgement, and support.
