Helping Others through Painful & grief Experiences

We understand that navigating grief and bereavement is one of life's most challenging journeys. Our program is a safe, compassionate space designed to provide support and guidance through your healing process.

Registration below.

H.O.P.E. is a 6-session, weekly support group dedicated to helping individuals cope with the pain of loss. Each session lasts two hours and focuses on providing:

• Insight into the Grieving Process: Gain understanding of grief and bereavement, including common symptoms and emotional responses.
• Practical Coping Strategies: Learn tools and techniques to navigate your personal journey of healing.
• Group Support: Share your experiences in a supportive and empathetic environment.

While H.O.P.E. is not a substitute for counseling or psychotherapy, it is a nurturing space where participants can find comfort, encouragement, and practical support.

Disclaimer: while the program incorporates Christian content, such as Bible verses and poems, it also leverages universally applicable insights and strategies for managing grief.
