Facilitated by UCFS and our Better Health Clinician, Kendra, we have a once a week Grief Support Group at the Center on Fridays from 3:00 – 4:00 PM. Presently this is done through phone calls / zoom though we hope to be back in person soon! This is a free program. Are you sad or suffering the loss of a loved one? Spouse, child, friend, or pet? Sometimes it is very difficult to deal with such loss. Come and join this confidential and private grief support group and learn coping techniques and ways to help you deal with your loss. Support group is on-going, no need to sign up, just come and join us in the Library at the Center. No need to speak in the group if you are not comfortable, you will still take away ways to cope with loss!
