2010 Grief Support Groups
Our support groups, educational offerings and special events are available to anyone in our community coping with the death of a loved one. The goal of our grief support groups is to provide a safe place for individuals and/or families to explore and express their grief in a manner that is comfortable and healing in nature.
Horizons Grief Center offers daytime and evening grief support groups throughout the year. The groups are led by trained grief counselors and usually meet for 90-120 minutes on the same day/night of the week for eight consecutive weeks.
Pre-registration is required for all support groups by calling 919-828-0890.
