Find support with our grief and caregiver counseling groups
We are committed to helping, improving, and making a difference in the lives of those who are struggling with mental health issues. Our grief and caregiver support groups guide clients on their wellness journey. Finding a community that will understand you is critical to your overall well-being—and it’s where our Boulder support groups can help.
GREIF SUPPORT GROUP
Working through grief is a journey, and our JFS Grief Support Group will help participants navigate the process. The eight-week, in-person support group is facilitated by Julie Mahoney Thomas, a licensed professional counselor with more than 25 years of experience in the field of death and dying and grief and loss. The group will combine an educational and supportive approach with weekly topics, such as understanding grief, remembering your loved one, and feelings and reactions/stress, anger, and coping.
If you are grieving and dealing with any form of loss, you can find support and connect with people working through similar feelings. The next session is every Wednesday from July 10 through August 28 from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. at the Boulder JCC.
Each session will also include a ritual, prayer, reading, and, of course, the opportunity to share and learn from one another. While you don’t have to be Jewish to attend our Grief Support Group, Jewish components will guide the conversations.
CAREGIVER SUPPORT GROUP
Are you an adult child taking care of or concerned about your aging parent? Whether you are nearby or further away, we encourage you to join our monthly Caregiver Support Group if you can benefit from support. Participants will find value in making connections, sharing experiences, and receiving additional resources and information.
The drop-in group is free and meets the first Wednesday of each month from 5:00 – 6:30 p.m. in person at the Boulder JCC and via Zoom. Stuart Feinhor, MA and Jodi Ansell, MSW, who have social work and counseling backgrounds and have experience as caregivers facilitate the group.
