Growing Through Grief
Open education group for adults grieving the loss
of a loved one.
This
group is an open format education program. The group runs
for 5 weeks and the topics are as follows: Grief is never
simple; Defining your grief; Self-empowerment; Coping
with relationships; Coping with special days; Holding
on and letting go.
Group facilitators will change each week and participants
are welcome to share during the presentations but will
not be required or expected as this is not a support group
format. The facilitator will have completed BFO's facilitator
training course and will provide information and education
surrounding the affects of grief on individuals, family
and support structures.
Applicants for the group will be individuals who have
experienced the loss of a loved one and are looking for
support and education on their experience of grief. Group
members will need to complete a registration form that
can be found on this site and email, fax or mail it into
the office for review. All information received is confidential.
Once received applicants will be contacted by the BFO
office to discuss the next possible group and any needs
the family may have at the time. A received registration
form does not ensure participation in the upcoming group
and if there is a waiting list the participant will be
notified.
The next group will be running in Listowel, ON in the Fall of 2010
