Meets bi-weekly, Wednesday evenings from 5-7pm (MDT).

This group is for families and friends who have a missing person and those who have found their missing but wish to continue to support each other.  You will learn about living with uncertainty (Ambiguous Loss, Dr. Pauline Boss) and how to deal with triggers, roadblocks and changing needs. Self-care is important.  There can be special events to remember our missing, based on group wishes.  Through sharing our experiences, we can learn from each other in a safe space and feel connected instead of isolated.

For access details, please email volunteer facilitator Maureen at trasker@rogers.com, staff facilitator Brenda at brichard@cmhaww.ca, (519) 570-4595 Ext. 4061 or selfhelpgroup@cmhaww.ca.
