Cornerstone is expanding its offering of support groups to help community members who may be struggling with the loss of a loved one, the pressures of being a caregiver or just feeling anxious and discouraged by work, school and the pandemic.
Led by Cornerstone’s specially trained bereavement counselors, the support groups are offered at various times throughout the week and are held virtually, in a safe and secure setting.
Participation in the support groups is free and open to any resident in Orange, Osceola, Lake, Sumter, Hardee, Highlands and Polk counties. You must be 18 and up unless otherwise specified and it does not matter whether a family member was in Cornerstone’s care:
