We're glad you're here!
The purpose of Journey Through Grief Support Group is to provide a community of people in the Wichita, Ks. area who are living with grief. This is a safe place for people to be honest about their situation and its impact in their lives. Being part of a community such as this keeps people from feeling isolated and helps them to feel cared about. It empowers people to face their grief and helps give validation that that they are OK as a person, despite their situation. It provides positive role models and encouragement that it IS possible to feel better.
The format of the group helps to foster principles of compassion and respect for every individual and will intentionally allow the spiritual nature of the group to help in finding peace and healing through the journey.
Confidentiality is a non-negotiable in the group. What happens in the group stays in the group. Please note that this is a SUPPORT group - not therapy or counseling. If counseling is needed or more support than this group is able to provide, leaders will recommend professional counseling through Riverlawn's Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist, Stacie Watts, MS,LCMFT.
Members of the group must agree that they will not try to fix anyone else's problems, but will justs be honest about their own circumstances and what works for them.
Group members are not required to attend or partner with Riverlawn Christian Church, but must agree to abide by the group guidelines and rules and respect the spiritual nature of the group.
If you feel like you are in need of support and encouragement as you embark or continue on your journey through grief, we hope that you will join us for a monthly meeting so we can get to know you. You are not alone!
Joining you in the journey,
Jami, Janet & Karen
