Grief Support Groups

This group is open to any adult grieving a death, regardless of when the loss occurred. Bridges is attended by people grieving deaths from a variety of causes. The format for Bridges is open, which means the topics discussed each session vary based on who is in attendance. There is no set curriculum for Bridges. Bridges is a peer support group facilitated by an Agrace staff member and an Agrace volunteer trained in grief support. At times there may be a staff or volunteer shadowing.
