Grief Support Programs

Learning to Live with Loss – Online

September 30 – November 18
Thursdays, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m.

An eight-week, structured grief support group for adults who have experienced the loss of a loved one. You will learn about the many paths grief can take. A safe environment is provided where feelings and experiences can be shared.

Each session in this series builds on the information from the week before, so for the best outcome, participants are encouraged to attend each one of the sessions. Login details to the Zoom meeting will be provided prior to the first class.
