What is a 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 and attendance is not taken.
Groups at HeartLight are led by trained, peer facilitators. Facilitators will open group with agreed upon expectations and then participants are invited to introduce themselves and share as much, or as little, as feels comfortable. Some facilitators will offer a reading or prompt during group, but groups do not have a set topic, which allows participants to ask questions and talk about topics that are meaningful to them. We invite you to attend group when it feels best for you.
Heart Light Center kindly requests that you register for in-person groups prior to attendance. Online registration will close 24-hours prior to group. Please contact us at [email protected] with questions or for more information.
*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]
