Grief Support at Wayne Memorial Hospital
A free support group designed to help people cope with the grieving process will be offered at Wayne Memorial Hospital. The six-week session will provide support and focus on grief as a normal part of an individual’s transition through life. The sessions will be held Monday evenings from 6:00 until 7:00 from March 2nd through April 6th in Conference Room #4 on the second floor of Wayne Memorial Hospital.
“Grief is experienced by each individual very differently,” explains Social Worker Anna M. Walsh. “There is no “right or wrong” way to engage in that experience, but the process for each person is encountered in different ways. Sharing the experience often helps us understand our own losses more clearly. It makes us aware we are not alone in our feelings.”
Acknowledging that grief is a very individual process, the Support Group will encourage participants to explore their own solutions to the challenges of living without their loved ones and dealing with the many changes that follow a loss. The support group will be facilitated by Rev. Edward K. Erb, Wayne Memorial Hospital and Hospice Chaplain and Hospital and Hospice Social Worker, Anna Walsh. The group will provide a safe place in which individuals can sort out their feelings and share as they are able and willing. No one will be required to share. Your experience will be enhanced by attending all sessions; however, it is understandable if you cannot attend some. You may enter or exit at any time.
Participants are asked to complete this registration form, which can be found at www.wmh.org.

School counselors do not provide therapy or long-term counseling in schools to address psychological disorders. However, school counselors are prepared to recognize and respond to student mental health crises and needs. School counselors address those barriers to student success by offering education, prevention and crisis and short-term intervention to include group counseling until the student is connected with available community resources. When students require long-term counseling or therapy, school counselors make referrals to appropriate community resources (ASCA, 2019).
The above-link will share with you an excel sheet highlighting nearly 20 agency/providers in or around our region, their contact information, accepted payment types, services provided, and other relevant information to help you make the best choice to support your child/adolescent. This is NOT to be considered an all-inclusive list of resources or supports. These providers returned an information form earlier this school year agreeing to be listed in our resources for families. All information outlined was given directly from the service provider. Please note that information can be changed at any time without notice. For current and up-to-date information, it is encouraged that you contact the provider directly.
