Grief can feel overwhelming and navigating it alone can be isolating. Our 4-week grief support group, provides a structured, supportive environment for individuals to process their grief at their own pace. Each week, we'll address different aspects of grief, provide helpful tools, and create a space for reflection, self-care, and connection.

Please watch this space for new dates when the group will be run in semester two.
