The first will be a grief group. The death of someone significant in your life impacts everything. Students will have the opportunity to meet and discuss their loved ones and do engaging activities as a way to help move forward in their grief. This is not just a sit around and be sad experience - the goal is to provide a healing opportunity and understand the wide range of feelings present when grieving. We will be partnering with a bereavement counselor from OhioHealth Hospice to provide the grief groups.
The second group opportunity is a resiliency group. Resiliency is how we recover in the face of set-backs, how we cope when things get tough, how we overcome past hurts or disappointments so that they don't derail our present or future, and even how we view ourselves and others related to difficult experiences. The reality is that this group would be great for everyone because we all need to hone those skills. We will be doing a lot of practical activities as a part of this group and believe it will be empowering for participants.
There will be limited space for each of these groups so if you are interested in participating in either opportunity, PLEASE let me know this week! I would love to have you be a part of it. Or, if you have more questions or want more information about either group, don't hesitate to stop by and see me so that we can discuss it.
