G.R.O.W.(Grief Recovery Outreach Workshop:)

Grief isn’t just for death, it is also for friendships that have ended, losing your community, missing the certainty you once had, questioning your judgement, releasing who you once were, losing traditions you loved and any other obstacle you face that is not allowing you to GROW. The GROW program offers a very positive approach to gaining recovery from any type of loss or transition that has deeply affected you. Nancy Stoops, M.A. MFT facilitates the group for adults 55 years of age and older on the first Friday of each month from 9:00 am to 11:00 am.
