Adult Support Groups

Family Sessions: Family Orientation  January 10th, 2012 5:30pm-7:30pm

Sessions Begin Tuesday, January 17, 2012 6pm-8pm

Helping parents/guadians understand and support their grieving children is an essential component of our family programs. The parents/guardians of the children work in groups sharing experiences and supporting each other through facilitated conversations. These conversations address the same themes that are being worked on with the children groups so that families return home and continue to reinforce what has been learned each week in their grief work. The parents or guardians are given information to help the children with their grief and answer their questions. Grieving adults need support and encouragement while maintaining multiple roles at home and at work even as they move toward their own restoration. Roberta's House provides a space for acceptance, caring and support where families can begin to rebuild their forever changed lives together.

A Time of Sharing: Adult Bereavement Programs: Next Sessions Begins Thursday, January 12th thru March 8, 2012 6p-8pm

A Time of Sharing is a support group for individuals 18 years of age and older, who have recently lost someone close and seek to find meaning in their lives. The sessions are facilitated by professional counselors using a holistic view (mind, body and spirit) to guide you through the grieving process. 

These groups meet on Thursday evenings from 6-8PM, for 8 consecutive weeks. There are four sessions per year held between September through June. As seating is limited, registrations for the sessions are required.  You may register for the support group by completing the attached Personal Data Sheet and returning it to Roberta's House via fax at (410) 235-6636 or email at www.info@robertashouse.org. We invite you and members of your family to share in this support group if you desire help in understanding your grief experience.
