Healing Through the Seasons: An Evening of Support in Winter

Grieving can be disorienting and isolating, and the death of a loved one to overdose can be particularly challenging. Let’s gather virtually on Tuesday evening, December 14, 2021 at 7:00 PM CST for a program of Jewish wisdom, meditation, and music with support from bereavement and addiction specialists. Two Jewish leaders will also share their personal grief journey of loss due to overdose, illuminating paths to healing.

Upon completion of our formal program at 8:00pm, participants are invited to stay online for a brief period of additional support if needed.

This event is free of charge. Register today to receive the Zoom link to the program.
