January, *April, and October
This program is for anyone 21+ grieving the death of a spouse or partner, whether recent or years ago.
This program is an innovative, multifaceted approach that combines therapeutic strategies, peer support, and education to support the critical needs of the widowed population. Since self-care is essential while grieving, this theme is incorporated throughout the program. The group format provides an opportunity to share stories, exchange ideas, and build lasting connections with others who understand.
These ten-week sessions use ARROW Integrative Grief Coaching™ methods which offer a unique multifaceted approach to:
-
dispel common myths about grief
-
teach healthy coping strategies and nervous system regulation
-
explore relevant topics extending to all areas of life affected by widowhood
-
process challenging themes using therapeutic methods including journaling
-
initiate the step from survival mode to healing
-
provide understanding social supports
...all while balancing tears with laughter.
*Beginning in 2025, April sessions will be dedicated to the unique needs of young widowed parents of dependent-aged children.
