Our partners in grief support offer a number of Open Drop-In Support Groups, virtually, every month. What is an Open Drop-In Support Group at HeartLight Center?

These groups invite people to come together with those who have similar losses. Participants may attend as often or as little as needed and discussions are personalized to fit the needs of each group. If you or someone you know would benefit in joining a group, please visit https://heartlightcenter.org/virtual-programs/ to learn more or register
