Frederick SOUL Grief Support
Mondays, 6:00-7:30 pm
This ongoing Frederick Health Hospice-supported group meets every Monday
evening. This group is specifically for mothers grieving children who
have died from overdose or complications from substance misuse. While
the group does have the support of a Frederick Health Hospice staff counselor,
SOUL is “moms helping moms" and is open-ended and peer led.
Although SOUL is by definition a support group, group members are clear
that the focus is on “living, getting back to life, and taking action.”
New members may join at any time
