"DROP IN SESSIONS"

This group is appropriate for students who have experienced a significant loss.  Most commonly, that would be the death of a loved one, but could also include the break-up of a significant relationship or major loss.  The group will involve mainly discussions, with some individual activities. Various topics will be covered throughout the year.

Students can attend as many sessions as they need.  We recommend that you call our office (494 2081) each Friday to confirm that the group is taking place.
