Renee Quallen, BSN, RN

I discovered the Grief Recovery Method (GRM) during a public health session in 2022, during the COVID-19 pandemic—a time when, both personally and professionally, I was witnessing the impact of loss, both visible and unseen. That experience made one thing clear: grief is a public health issue that effects communities. Grief is a normal and natural response to loss or change of any kind. When left unaddressed, it can affect many areas of well-being, including relationships, mental health, and coping behaviors. It is often connected to broader challenges such as substance use, family strain, and decreased overall wellness. The Grief Recovery Method offers a practical, evidence-based approach to help individuals process grief and move forward in a healthy, meaningful way. As a certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist, I can offer one-on-one education and group support programs to help individuals navigate loss with clarity, compassion, and hope. I provide programs through my role as a public health nurse with the Clinton County Health District, along with additional support opportunities.
