About The Format

This program can be taught once a week for 8 weeks or twice a week for 4 weeks. There are 2-3 days in between sessions if offered twice a week. Each session is approximately 2 hours long. There is reading and assignments in between sessions. New participants can join on sessions 1 or 2; after session 2 the group is closed. GRM Support Groups are not drop in style groups. All GRM programs are confidential, structured and action oriented.

A Note From The Presenter:

Good afternoon Family & Friends! The Grief Recovery Method is one of the most transformative, evidence-based healing processes that I have ever experienced. I, in partnership with Love Akron, through a grant awarded by Summit County ADM Board, am facilitating Grief Recovery Method (GRM) classes to adult men and women living in Greater Akron. Through this grant funded opportunity, we are able to offer our 8-week class (valued at $395.00 per person) at no cost to registered participants. Our only requirement is that you 1. register for the class at LoveAkron.org/grief-recovery-method, 2. attend the information session on February 8, 2024, 3. commit to all attend all 8 sessions, 4. complete the evaluations. That's it!

All of the classes will be held in the Gus Johnson Community Center at United Baptist Church, 1015 S. Hawkins Ave., Akron, OH. Free parking is available. There is limited seating (12 participant max.) so we urge you to register as soon as possible. Once you have registered and have been entered into the database, you will receive an email that will outline your next steps.

Feel free to call me if you have questions.

I thought that a college degree in counseling would be more than enough to help me with my personal issues of grief and loss. I even incorporated extra classes to specialize in working with males in general, African-American males in particular, adolescents and people of color.
