Is A Support Group Right for You?

discover a community that cares

An important step in the healing journey is sharing your story with those who care about what you’re going through. We embrace the evidence that shows the mere act of sharing leads to healing and want to provide you with a safe, secure and private opportunity to meet with others when you’re ready. In our “Circle of Hope Grief Group™” community, participants register to attend and group sizes are limited to assure the opportunity to share if you are comfortable. No one is required to share, and sometimes it’s therapeutic and comforting to just listen and learn that you’re not alone. Whenever you’re ready, we will be here to welcome you in to our community. Please remember, whatever you are going through, you are not alone!

Discover the Benefits of Support groups

find connection & encouragement

Sharing and listening to others discuss their loss experiences is proven to facilitate healing for those of us who have been through loss and brokenness. It reminds us that we are not alone and provides us with hope by connecting with those that have been through tough life experiences to find happiness and to experience a joy-filled life following loss. Sometimes it’s hard to see that light at the end of the tunnel, walking together with those of us who are going through it provides strength and community when we need it the most.

Circle of Hope groups provide strength & community when we need it most.

Groups are Hosted by author & Founder Mark S. Negley and/or Dr. M. Melyn Galbreath
