Join an Open Drop-In Grief Support Group
What is a Drop-In Support Group at HeartLight Center?
Anyone who has experienced a death-loss, and is at least of 18 years of age, is invited to attend an open support group at HeartLight Center. Open support groups allow participants to attend as often or as little as needed when fits best in your schedule. Often there is not a set agenda in the open and ongoing group meetings. There is a suggested donation of $15 for our drop-in groups.
*If you are a student or professional wanting to “observe” a group, please contact our Program Director prior to submitting a registration at [email protected]
