BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT GROUP
August 10 - September 14, 2017
Facilitated by Rabbi Jonathan R. Katz
The passing of a cherished loved one marks a profound life turning point. Too often, we try to "tough it out" without exploring our grief in ways that can enable us to grow and regain the spiritual and emotional footing needed to return to active life even in the wake of deep loss.
The Bereavement Support Group, offered under the auspices of the Jewish Healing Program which is funded by a grant from The Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee, will be facilitated by JFCS Community Chaplain Rabbi Jonathan R. Katz and Social Work Intern Shari Jansen.
This six-week group, open to men & women, provides an opportunity to:
● Learn how others are dealing with grief
● Gain coping insights
● Receive support & understanding
● Cultivate personal resilience
● Examine how loss impacts us
● Experience newfound strength & hope
Time: 10:30 a.m. - Noon
Location: JFCS, 2688 Fruitville Road, Sarasota
Fee: $36 (includes all six sessions)
*PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED
For more information and to register please contact:
Rabbi Jonathan R. Katz, at 941-366-2224 ext. 166.
