Samaritan Offers Coping With the Holidays Through December
Pre-Register for the Free, Online Sessions
This holiday season is unlike any other, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and health guidelines restricting family and social gatherings. In order to help the south Jersey community cope with the loss of a loved one this time of year, Samaritan is providing a virtual Coping With the Holidays support group through the month of December.
The Samaritan Center for Grief Support, a member of the Samaritan family of services, offers a number of free, online sessions for those seeking support, focusing on their own unique emotional needs during these unprecedented times.
Pre-registration for each free, virtual session is required by calling (856) 452-7677 or e-mailing at CFGcounseling@SamaritanNJ.org.
