Prince Frederick, MD – Calvert Hospice announces that the next session of Bridges, our support group for children and adults who are grieving the death of someone close. The session begins on September 29 and continues each Thursday until November 17. The group will meet at Trinity United Methodist Church in Prince Frederick from 6:30 – 8 pm.
Children and teens are divided into age-appropriate peer groups where creative activities and discussion are used to assist with coping and healing. Adult family members learn the similarities and differences between child and adult grief and gain knowledge about supporting their children as well as themselves.
Adults will meet in an adult support group at the same time their children are in their peer groups. For more information or to register, contact Melinda Ruppert at 410-535- 0892 or mruppert@calverthospice.org. Registration deadline is September 15.
