Program 1 [2020]
SUPPORT GROUPS - OUR SUPPORT GROUPS CONSIST OF WEEKLY, MONTHLY, AND SPECIALTY SUPPORT GROUPS AS FOLLOWS: WEEKLY SUPPORT GROUPS (PHASE #1): PHASE ONE OF THE SUPPORT GROUPS IS A CLOSED 8-10 WEEK EDUCATIONAL AND INTERACTIVE PROGRAM THAT IS LED BY A LICENSED CLINICIAN OR QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL. IN THIS PHASE, TELLING YOUR PERSONAL STORY, SHARING YOUR LOVED ONES LIFE, AND EXPRESSING ANY FEELINGS TO THE GROUP IS ENCOURAGED. THESE GROUPS ARE SEPARATED BY AGE OF THE PARTICIPANT AND BY TYPE OF LOSS. WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING SUPPORT GROUPS BY TYPE OF LOSS: SUICIDE, MURDER, ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE, MILITARY, YOUNG WIDOWS, LOSS OF SPOUSE, LOSS OF ADULT CHILD, NEO-NATAL OR EARLY INFANT LOSS, LOSS OF CHILD, COMPLICATED GRIEF AND TRAUMATIC DEATH. WE CONTINUALLY OFFER MORE SPECIFIC GROUPS BASED UPON THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. MONTHLY SUPPORT GROUPS (PHASE #2): PHASE TWO OF THE SUPPORT GROUP PROCESS IS A PROFESSIONALLY LED MONTHLY SUPPORT GROUP WHERE NEW MEMBERS MEET FOR AN ONGOING PERIOD OF TIME, BASED ON THEIR NEEDS. USUAL TOPICS ARE DEALING WITH UPCOMING HOLIDAYS OR SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY DATES, COPING WITH GETTING BACK TO WORK, LONELINESS, OR THE STRESS OF RAISING A FAMILY. WE HAVE ALSO ADDED A FAMILY WORKSHOP SERIES THAT USES CREATIVE AND EXPRESSIVE ARTS TO EFFECTIVELY PROCESS THEIR GRIEF AND MEMORIALIZE THEIR LOVED ONE. SPECIALTY GROUPS (WEEKLY/PHASE #2): MOVIE SUPPORT GROUP, BIBLE STUDY GROUPS, PHOTO THERAPY GROUPS AND OTHER WEEKLY SERIES GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS ARE OFFERED QUARTERLY TO ALLOW PARTICIPANTS TO EXPERIENCE OTHER METHODS AND LEARNING STYLES TO BE ABLE TO COPE WITH THEIR GRIEF. PARTICIPANTS NEED TO HAVE COMPLETED A PHASE 1 GROUP PRIOR TO JOINING A PHASE 2 GROUP. AS WITH MOST OF OUR GROUPS, PHASE 2 GROUPS UTILIZE THE EXPRESSIVE ARTS AS INTERVENTIONS. IN ALL PHASES, INDIVIDUALS RECEIVE EMPATHY FROM OTHERS WHO HAVE SUFFERED SIMILAR LIFE CHANGING EVENTS. THE GROUP MEMBERS FORM NEW AND LASTING FRIENDSHIPS AS THEY ARE NOW ACCEPTED FOR THE PERSON THEY ARE NOW, NOT WHO THEY USED TO BE. IN ADDITION TO GROUPS, CORNERSTONE OF HOPE OFFERS INDIVIDUAL GRIEF COUNSELING WITH A MASTERS PREPARED CLINICIAN. FOR CLIENTS EXPERIENCING A TRAUMATIC LOSS, EMDR IS THE MODALITY OF CHOICE. EMDR IS A PROVEN INTERVENTION THAT RE-TRAINS THE BRAIN TO PROCESS TRAUMA WITH MUCH LESS NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS, AND ENABLES CLIENTS TO THEN BEGIN THE GRIEF PROCESS. CORNERSTONE OF HOPE OFFERS SEVERAL MEMORIAL PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. IN JUNE, WE HAVE A BUTTERFLY RELEASE PROGRAM WHERE PARTICIPANTS RELEASE A BUTTERFLY IN HONOR OF THEIR LOVED ONE. OCTOBER 15TH IS NATIONAL INFANT LOSS DAY AND WE COMMEMORATE THE BABIES BY LIGHTING A CANDLE IN THEIR MEMORY. IN DECEMBER, WE HAVE OUR CHRISTMAS CANDLE LIGHTING PROGRAM, WHERE WE HONOR OUR LOVED ONES WITH A MEMORIAL PROGRAM, AND A CANDLE WITH THEIR LOVED ONES' PHOTO ON IT. CORNERSTONE OF HOPE RESPONDS TO COMMUNITY RESPONSE CALLS IN BUSINESSES AND SCHOOLS WHEN THERE IS A DEATH IN THE COMMUNITY. OUR TRAINED RESPONDERS PROVIDE HOPE AND SUPPORT IN THE MOST TRAGIC OF CIRCUMSTANCES. LASTLY, WE HAVE SEVERAL EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS EACH MONTH, PROVIDING CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS TO LICENSED PROFESSIONALS (SOCIAL WORKERS, COUNSELORS, NURSES, FUNERAL DIRECTORS, ETC).
