Is this group right for me?
Anyone is welcome to attend for any grief - big or small. If you have faced a traumatic or sudden death, you are welcome here. However, please note that we also offer the online WayKeepers Group, which is specific to the experience of losing someone through suicide, homicide, combat, accidental death, drug overdose, sudden or prolonged medical deaths that have also been traumatizing to loved ones.
Many participants attend both groups, so trust what feels right for you. If you have any questions or concerns, please book a free 15-minute phone consult, and we will be happy to discover what may be best right now.
Open Grief Support Group: Pre-registration is required.
Number of Participants: Limited to 12 participants.
Fee: Based on a sliding scale. We accept contributions to offset basic costs through our Share the Love Fund.
When: The last Wednesday of each month: 6pm–7:30pm
(Note: Some months we may meet on the 3rd week due to holiday or facilitator schedules. Current dates on the booking calendar are all correct.)
