Supportive Grief Group
A place for connection, recollection, community, and healing
Grief is a natural reaction to loss. Although we don’t choose to experience grief, we can choose to connect and heal in community. This outpatient bereavement group offers a supportive, confidential space to share, reflect, and begin moving forward at your own pace.
​
Led by grief specialist, Sedef Orsel, LCSW, this group is for individuals who have suffered the loss of a loved one to death. Sedef has vast training and experience in grief and trauma therapy. She runs grief programming at WJCS, and teaches at Fordham University
