These discussions happen in a supportive and non-threatening atmosphere in a variety of locations throughout Southeastern Connecticut.Those who have lost their spouse/partner can opt for a talk support group while others of all ages are invited to participate in our “Drawing on Our Memories” expressive arts program. Members can choose the particular exercise they find most comfortable, e.g., scrapbooking, painting, drawing, sculpturing, journaling while also using group discussion to learn how to best cope with their loss.
