GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP
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!
BETTER HEALTH PROGRAM
Designed to help those in need feel good, deal with life’s changes, depression, addiction, and address other mental health needs. The Better Health Program, provides a licensed clinician (Kendra) to work one-on-one with our residents and we will be beginning our weekly group support services as well. She is also available for telehealth appointments for those not able to come to the Center and/or comfortable coming at this time. Our program is available for seniors at the Center and our under 60 residents in the Social Services Office. This valuable program will be FREE to our Montville residents! This program is made possible with Title III funds under the Older Americans Act from Senior Resources. Call Kathie the Director @ 860-848-0422 for details.
