Grieving people want and need to be heard, not fixed

The feelings you experience with every loss in life are a natural and normal reaction. Most people have never been taught the tools and resources to heal from grief. By taking this action-based approach, you will have the opportunity to work through a loss in a safe and supportive environment – without analysis, criticism, or judgment. 

“The Grief Recovery Handbook” by John James and Russell Freidman is used as a reading resource, as well as the weekly homework assignments, for the action-based approach you will take as you work on your journey to recovery. 

Your Grief Recovery Support Group facilitator is Vanessa Iceton and I am a Grief Recovery Method Specialist. I will provide the emotional support and guidance to ensure that you learn new skills and tools to ‘complete’ the hurt and pain and help you to heal from loss. 

Your weekly participation and attendance in this 8-week closed-group format is vital to benefit in the healing and recovery process.  “Closed groups” means participants register for the sessions, and once the group begins, only those who registered are permitted to attend. This creates a feeling of emotional safety and trust among participants.  

Upon arrival to the first session, you will be provided a copy of the Grief Recovery Handbook and the 8-week homework package (cost included in your registration fee). 

Participants of a variety of ages, genders, cultures, religions, sexual orientations, and abilities are welcomed in the group setting. 

In-Person Registration Cost: $680/per-person for the 8-weeks

Tuesday's: January 24, 2023 - March 14, 2023

Time: 6:00-8:00pm 

Participating in group services can be an alternative for people, as more hours are facilitated at a significantly reduced rate. Additionally, benefits or employee insurance plans may cover part or in full the investment to participate. It is encouraged that you contact your insurance provider to verify if group therapy will be covered, and any conditions of this coverage.  

Please note: Due to the nature of this group, attendance to all sessions is important. If you miss more than 2 sessions, your registration will be removed from the group, and you will be able to complete your remaining sessions on a 1:1 basis.
