The STEP Team (Remal and Walker) are facilitating a 8 week Grief Group starting Thursday March 19th, 2026 and would truly appreciate you sharing in community meetings. That said, it has been shared in the Google Classrooms for Freshies, Sophomores, and Juniors, so feel free to point them in that direction as well.
We will meet during a time TDB due to who refers themselves.
Although there are many forms grief takes, this will be a group focussing on grief and loss from a death in a student's life.
We will work to identify, explore, and process the difficulties and resilience within the grieving process, while also acknowledging and normalizing some of the experiences after losing someone through death.
Groups offer opportunities to connect and talk about things that can often leave us feeling alone.
***Please ask that students complete this form by Monday 3/7/2026 if Interested.
