When people experience grief, it affects more than just their emotions, it can impact every part of their lives. Individuals may often feel isolated or question whether something is wrong with them.

This week’s session is focused on grief and bereavement. Together, we’ll explore:

✔️ How grief affects us beyond emotions.

✔️ Common myths about grief and why it can feel like it comes in waves.

✔️ Healthy ways to support yourself through the grief journey.

sessions are open, welcoming spaces to learn more about mental health and access helpful resources. We hope you’ll leave feeling more supported, validated, and empowered.

Proud to be a member of the Alpha Group of Pharmacies, who serve many rural communities across Newfoundland.

The Prescription Centre is very glad to be a part of The Alpha Group of Pharmacies. 24 independently owned and operated pharmacies were involved in raising $10,000 which was matched by both the federal and provincial governments. A big thank you to our fellow pharmacies for their support. We had the opportunity to present Robert Doyle from the Red Cross with a cheque earlier this month. Thank you to our patients and customers for their continued support throughout these difficult times.
