Registration has just opened for the Fall Trimester Grieving Dads Support Groups. We are offering two groups this fall: one on Tuesdays and one on Thursdays.

Space is limited to 10 participants in each group. Zoom sessions are 90 minutes long and occur every other week. These are "closed" rather than "drop-in" support groups, meaning that fathers travel the grief journey with the same people every session.

These groups are designed to give grieving dads a way to connect and discuss topics that make a difference for them in the aftermath of su***de loss. Discussions are led by trained and experienced facilitators who have experienced similar losses.

Overdose prevention training can save a life - and we offer it for FREE!
During the training, attendees learn to identify the signs of an overdose, learn how to use nasal naloxone, and receive up to 4 free doses (2 boxes) of nasal naloxone.
