SUMMARY:Virtual Grief Support Group - All Arms Locked
DESCRIPTION:Philly HEALs will be hosting a virtual support group for men who are experiencing grief from stigmatized loss. While we recognize that all grief can be difficult\, when you lose a loved one in a stigmatized way\, it can further impede the grieving process. Examples of stigmatized loss are losses due to overdose\, addiction\, homicide\, or suicide. This group will assist in building community between men who have experienced similar losses as well as giving participants tools to deal with this type of grief. You can sign up for the group here: https://redcap.phila.gov/surveys/?s=A7FELKJWED
