Third Wednesday of Month (TWM) - Peer-Led Support Topic Meeting - NOVEMBER

Our topic this month is: "Navigating the Holidays, Past and Present"

How can we help one another "get through the holidays?"  

Join us as we discuss our needs and apprehensions--and what strategies we might adopt to alleviate some of our holiday sadness and grief.  

Our Topic Committee volunteers suggest reading the following: 

What's Your Grief, 64 Tips for Coping with Grief During the Holidays

Or, you can listen to Dawn's Video on the topic, here

We really hope you will join us.
