Age & Opportunity’s Social Work staff will be offering a Bereavement Support Group via Zoom for individuals 55+ years of age who have recently lost a spouse/life partner through death (not a suicide or homicide death). 

Six weekly sessions have been scheduled for the fall starting Tuesday, October 3, 2023 and continuing to Tuesday, November 7, 2023 (10:00 am – 12 noon). Participants must have access to a smartphone, iPad, laptop, or home computer. Contact A & O Intake at (204) 956-6440.  

Goals:

 To provide a safe setting for sharing stories of loss with others

 To validate and affirm the feelings and experiences of the newly-bereaved and offer hope

 To promote the development of new coping skills

 To alleviate the isolation and loneliness that may be part of the grief experience
