Hands on Healing Family Groups are a way for loved ones to share their stories of loss, and connect with others. They explore feelings, develop healthy coping skills, and discover new ways to remember loved ones.
Full Circle provides art-based grief support services to children and families in Central Virginia who have experienced the death of someone significant to them.
Share your story of loss, explore your feelings, develop coping strategies, strengthen your communication skills, and discover new ways to remember your loved one by joining this 8-week Hands on Healing family group.
Open to children ages 3 – 17 and their adult caregivers, each session is facilitated by experienced professionals.
All grief support groups are offered free, at no cost to participants.
