Calendar

Meets the first and third Thursday.

For those who are bereaved, social distancing restrictions are even more taxing than for many others. This monthly discussion-based group seeks to increase connection and provide support through the sharing of experiences, challenges, and emotions during this difficult time.

This group is open to all WH members who have suffered the loss of a loved one to cancer and are experiencing extra challenges in coping with that loss during COVID-19 restrictions.

Individuals with a very recent loss may not be a good fit for a support group but are encouraged to contact us through admin@annapoliswellnesshouse.org to request appropriate support resources.   

Facilitated by Sally Sellman, NCC, LCPC, HTCP

During this time of social distancing, it is important #NowMoreThanEver to stay connected. New Members Welcome!
