Support Group Meetings:
Meetings are peer support, not therapy sessions. No specific details are shared of how the loved one died, as this has the potential to traumatize other group members. If you need to talk about this, please call the office and talk with them one-on-one.
The virtual and in-person meetings are 90 minutes.

In-person Meetings: Jackson, CA - 1st Tuesdays @ 3:30pm - 4:30pm
