Write a commentThe Healing Journey is a 6-Week Clinical Support Group created for those who are dealing with the loss of a loved one.
The goal of this group is to assist in the grieving process for those who have experienced loss. The group is facilitated by Mary Beth Pace, LCSW-R, a licensed therapist, and offers a safe supportive environment to sift through thoughts and feelings associated with loss—specifically those related to the death of a loved one.
Through structured guided sessions, sessions will both educate about the grieving process as well as assist in managing the feelings associated with the loss through open discussion. Alternative methods of expression will also be introduced.
A typical session follows the below structure, though sessions will be adjusted depending on the needs of each group.
- Introduction and establishing trust. Sharing.
- Understanding grief.
- Coping strategies.
- Honoring Memories and Legacy.
- Moving Forward.
- Closure and Reflection.
For those who commit to classes, consistent attendance is strongly recommended. “The only wrong way to grieve is not to,” said Pace.
