The Grieving Brain Virtual Book Club & Support Group

Learn more about the neuroscience of grief with fellow grievers while reading and discussing The Grieving Brain by Mary-Frances O’Connor.

Designed and Facilitated By Dr. Genna Reeves and David Winiecki

The Grieving Brain Book Club and Support Group is a different style of support group for the curious, science-oriented, thinking, reflective griever. Join us for a unique combination of virtual peer support and education in this guided, curriculum-based support group. Over five weeks, we will navigate the complexities of grief as we read and discuss The Grieving Brain by Mary-Frances O’Connor. We’ll explore different aspects of grief each week, from understanding the brain’s role in processing it to how we can cope with its emotional and cognitive impacts.
