• Must be 18 years of age or older.

• Understand we are not an early crisis or trauma group.

• Must be willing to share contact information with the group leads for emergency use only.

 

 

We offer peer-support groups. These groups are not meant to replace professional therapy, but rather to be a safe, compassionate place where we can share our stories openly, without fear of judgment.

​

Here, we are each other’s witnesses, companions, and supporters. By listening to one another, we can begin to find meaning, strength, and even small moments of healing in the midst of our grief.

​

Our intention is to offer gentle, constructive ways to grieve, cope, and care for ourselves. Together, we can challenge the feelings of shame or stigma that so often accompany this type of loss, and instead move toward compassion—for ourselves and for each other.

​

By participating in group you are agreeing to respect the confidentiality of everyone here. Members of the group and what they share should not be repeated outside of this meeting.

​

We ask our participants to respect everyone’s feelings and opinions, even if they are not the same as your own. The group works best when participants stick to sharing their own experiences and listening with compassion to the experiences of others. Please avoid giving unsolicited advice when speaking to one another, but please feel free to share what has or has not worked for you.
