Support
Groups
The Jewish Federation of Howard County provides periodic therapeutic support groups on a range of topics. Support Groups may be focus on bereavement, dealing with COVID-19, “sandwich generation” issues, abuse addiction, and other topics.
The Federation offers bereavement support groups that launch in the spring, winter, and fall. Each group is structured with an eight-week curriculum where clients will be able to share about their own grief and learn how to cope with the impact of the death of a loved one.
​
All support groups are free and open to the community, but initial intake required. For an example of the schedule of the support groups, see the chart below.
If you are interested in learning more about these groups, please email our Social Services Manager, Lakisha Audain at LAudain@JewishHowardCounty.org.
