The space to process grief, remember loved ones, and understand the repercussions of one’s individual loss is essential. Yet grief can be isolating, and even close friends and family may not be able to understand all you are experiencing.
FSS founding member and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Dana Lerner shares her expertise and experience as a bereaved parent in a new support group geared for those who have lost a child to traffic violence. Dana works with individuals, couples, and families, and focuses on issues including bereavement, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. She has written about our culture’s harmful tendency to pathologize grief and disregard the realities and needs of those who suffer from profound loss.
This group is a safe and welcoming place for community members who have lost a child in traffic violence. A monthly facilitated conversation will enable participants to tell their stories, connect with others and share perspectives unique to the loss of one’s child.
* This group will meet twice a month for a limited time. Participants are asked to join each session. Dates include:
April 17, May 1, May 15, May 29, June 26, July 10
