Something we get asked all the time: How do I handle bathing?

Grief is often lonely, and groups provide a safe space in a world that doesn’t always understand. For those who are ready to share and hear from others at different points in the journey, a support group provides connection for the journey forward.

A staff facilitator aids the group in dialogue and experiences to promote healing. Your presence is important to the group, so we look forward to talking with you about the commitment you make to yourself and others by registering for a support group.

Wednesday, September 16 - October 21
2:00 - 3:00 PM | Via Zoom
RSVP to [email protected], or 828.692.6178 and ask for Grief Services
