Several good things are converging to allow Grief Support Groups to meet in-person again. While it’s possible that a spike in infectious outbreaks could waylay plans, the following grief groups are planned to open in May of 2021:
Coping with Loss Support Group–Adults
1st & 3rd Mondays of each month at 6:00-7:30pm
Wings of Hope Office, 530 Linn Street, Allegan
Come as your schedule allows as drop-in participants are welcome.
Blue Moon Teen Grief & Loss Group
2nd & 4th Mondays of each month at 6:00-7:30pm
Wings of Hope Office, 530 Linn Street, Allegan
Students 13-18 years should call to register by 5/7/21 to participate in this group (minimum of six participants needed). Register by calling Grief Support Services at (269)686-8659. Each of the 8 meetings (May through August) begin with supper and include discussion and activities for coping after the death of a loved one.
CDC recommendations for group meetings will be followed including wearing masks and social distancing as appropriate. Groups may take place out of doors as weather allows. Anyone experiencing symptoms of illness or exposed to contagious illness and not fully vaccinated are asked to refrain from group participation per CDC guidelines. This is to respect and protect others who may be immuno-compromised or live with vulnerable family members.
