Description

Hello There, I want to tell you about a grief support group I am offering that is coming up in 2 weeks. I am a graduate student intern at The Hope Connection, and I am planning an upcoming virtual support group specifically for the widowed community. I am earning my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and facilitating a group is part of my school curriculum. According to research, spouse/partner death is the single most stressful life event to experience. Grieving in community with others who understand this devastating loss can be very healing. This will be a virtual 8-week small group with 4 participants maximum and myself facilitating. I am providing a free 15-minute Zoom consultation for all potential participants to answer any questions, assess for group, and to inquire about any specific desired topics. The cost in $120 for 8 sessions, which is $15 per group. I also want to let you know that I am a widow and have the lived experience to facilitate this group with much empathy and compassion. I also have much experience facilitating adult groups from my seven years of volunteer work at The Dougy Center. Here is a link to my Psychology Today profile for you to learn a little more about me. There is some information about the group on my profile as well.
