Grief Group

Grief groups provide a safe space for those who have lost loved ones to share their thoughts and release feelings and emotions connected to grief — feelings that might otherwise stay bottled up due to a lack of support. These groups offer nonjudgmental support and a place for your feelings to be heard, witnessed, and accepted by others who are experiencing similar losses.

Grief groups help people recognize their new grief norms and remind us that we are not “grieving wrong” — our world has simply changed forever. Through shared connections, traditions, and personal experiences, we learn from and teach each other how to grieve in a world that often doesn’t know how to talk about grief.

Grief is hard, but ignoring it makes it even harder. Grief doesn’t need endless time, but it does need dedicated time. Grief groups can help you navigate this difficult season and remind you that you are not alone in your pain.

Suboxone Group

In this Suboxone treatment group, you’ll find a safe space to connect with others who understand the challenges of opiate addiction. Led by a therapist experienced in substance use disorders, the group sessions offer support and coping mechanisms tailored to the unique struggles of overcoming opiate dependence. Together, you’ll build a network of encouragement and explore the underlying causes of your addiction for a holistic path to recovery.

Coping skills

Learn about emotions and how best to express them in a healthy way. We also learn to identify safe people in our lives who will support us and help us to use the new skills we are using. We work on understanding and naming the coping skills we currently use and determining if they are still of benefit to us. We learn what makes a coping skill effective and we work at identifying and developing healthy coping skills that will help us feel better and get our needs met in a positive way.

Enhancing Self-regulation

This group builds on the Coping Skills group. In this group we work on identifying additionalhealthy coping skills that will help us when we are feeling overwhelmed or angry. Our group leaders help members explore activities that will work for them, such as breathing, music, mindfulness, somatic states and more.

Enhancing attachment

This group teaches healthy communication skills and interactions between our clients and family members. Members learn about and practice verbal and written affirmations that they can use within their family systems. Members will learn how to recognize, acknowledge, and meet needs, both as a giver and receiver.

Adult Yoga Group / Mindfulness

This group starts out with a 30 minute yoga session where group members will learn to connect with themselves and others while gaining body awareness through trauma informed yoga. After the Yoga sessions, the group works on connection and mindfulness through discussion and activities. This group will also work for those who do not wish to participate in the Yoga component as they can benefit from the group by joining in for the non-physical portion.

Social skills and self esteem

This group focusses on helping members learn about, develop, and practice additional healthy boundaries, and focusing on pro social behaviors. Just a few of the things we work on are giving and receiving affirmations, identifying and replacing negative self-talk, participating in self-care, learning about healthy boundaries, and focusing on pro social behaviors.

Impulse Control and Anger Management

The focus of this group is to help group members identify their anger escalation pattern and build the skills to use 3 body-based anger de-escalation techniques to reduce impulsive behavior.
