ADULT SUPPORT GROUPS

We offer monthly virtual support groups for adults, held on Zoom calls. Please note that a phone intake meeting is required before attending. Call 214-452-3105 several days in advance of the group you are interested in joining to schedule your intake appointment, as appointments are limited. We look forward to talking with you.

This is the process to request to join a group.

  1. Call Gail at 214-452-3105 and share that you are interested in joining one of our support groups.She’ll ask for information about the loss you’ve experienced and schedule a phone appointment with our director and adult group facilitator, Laurie Taylor. If we don’t offer a group that would be appropriate for the loss you’ve experienced, she’ll share information about other centers and resources that might meet your need.

  2. Laurie will call you on the designated day and time to talk with you about your loved one, how you think a support group might be helpful, and to determine which of our groups might be most appropriate for you.

  3. The night before your assigned support group meeting, you will receive a reminder email with the Zoom link enabling you to attend the meeting.
