Being aware of the magnitude of loss can be overwhelming and stressful, bringing up a lot of emotions that can be difficult to face on our own. This group is for any individual who is feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders, or who may be wondering what is the point of doing anything with everything we’re up against for a stable future.
