Southwest Grief Coalition
Going through the loss of a family member or friend is a challenging time. A drop-in support group may be just the thing you need for support and encouragement. Join us at our Summer Grief Support Group led by experienced and trained grief support facilitators from the Southwest Grief Coalition. These sessions are designed to be a drop-in format for conversation and encouragement. No registration is needed. You are welcome to come to as many or as few of these drop-in sessions as your schedule allows.
