Compass’ Grief Services team will be hosting a variety of different support groups and workshops coming up in May. One of the critical factors in healing is the support of other people. Having a community of others who have also experiences grief allow you to feel someone else “gets it”. With each group and workshop below our grief support group will give you the tools for handling grief, plus the support of others with similar losses.
-Mother’s Day Workshop Compass’ Grief Services team will be hosting a Mother’s Day Workshop on Saturday, May 7th for those who have experienced the loss of their mother. This workshop will take place from 10:00am-11:30am at our Barnette Center located at 255 Comet Dr. Centreville, MD 21617. There will be light refreshments and a special activity.
