Group Support Volunteers

Group support volunteers co-facilitated loss and grief support groups. These groups are often 1 - 1 ½ hrs weekly or bi-weekly, are either during daytime or evening, and held in the community or virtually via ZOOM. SOLS continues to work within our community at developing these services. There may also be short term groups/workshops. Volunteers are also expected to do some group preparation and attend group supervision/debriefing by our clinical staff at least one a month.
