The facilitator was wonderful. I truly believe that she made a difference in how well the program worked.

I appreciate that in the first sessions it was made very clear that this course is work and it gets hard. However, the way Christina reassured us that even though its hard, and this course may bring up some really heavy and painful feelings, that seeing it through and pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones, it will all come together at the end and it will make sense. She was very honest and realistic about the weight of the work but she was absolutely fantastic at holding space for us to feel things most of us had not allowed ourselves to feel in years. Christina modelled vulnerability by sharing real examples of her journey through the course and by showing her own vulnerability first, it really emphasized the safety of the space we were in, allowing out own walls to come down easier than they would have otherwise. Personally, some of my walls to shield vulnerability were so deeply entrenched in me that I had no idea there was a wall there until I started digging in and doing the course work. Through out the first few weeks of the course I felt incredibly heavy as we dug into loss and trauma's that I had buried for a long time, but as the recovery components came into focus and the direction the course was going became clearer, there was light. I found the parts that needed healing and by the end of the course, having given voice to those parts, I feel more whole than I have in many years and the optimism returned. I am optimistic that even though life will still happen, there is a path through the hard parts and that path lays within me.

Ms. Joy is a joy to work with. She is very transparent and easy to speak with. I enjoyed how she gave us examples of the work we had to do because she has done it herself.

Alejandra was very attentive and present during our sessions. She offered some new perspectives in a supportive and professional manner that allowed me to actually consider them. I can be quite rigid in my thinking and was able to open up to what she had to offer and take into consideration. She was also a great example of how I'd like to show up and support someone who is taking the time to process something emotional and challenging in their life.

Grief Counseling Course that I completed which was lead and facilitated in a supportive, encouraging and safe environment by Bishop Minor was very beneficial and transformative experience for me. I had completed grief counseling before but this course clearly defines grief, dispelled myths about grief . The course gave me the tools and the courage to face my loss and grief with new insights. Also to come at peace so I can strive to live a fuller life and build meaningful relationships.

Jenn is an outstanding messenger and facilitator of this very powerful and effective program! It is apparent that this is a calling for her, not just a job. She strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and authenticity. She is so genuine, so empathetic, and so knowledgeable. It is clear that she has done this work and knows of what she speaks. And continues to do the work today. Her ability to create and maintain a safe, loving space is unmatched. Her attention to details, including outside the sessions (emails), is superb. I can't imagine a facilitator of GRM that is better than Jenn. She was EXTREMELY helpful in facilitating the program for me.

Janna was a great leader on this journey. She was empathetic to all of my emotions and went through this with me. She knew what to expect and could warn me of the emotions I might feel after certain homework assignments. She made this very easy for me to do. She was walking with me through my grief, helping me take each step in the process. I can't explain the weight that she helped lift off my shoulders and mind. I could never thank her enough.

April was great as a facilitator. She has passion and a caring heart and was perfect as a facilitator for this program. As we all work in healthcare, this program is much needed and I'm glad she is facilitating the program to help others. We see a lot of loss of many types.

Michele was outstanding. Each layer she added and skill she displayed impressed me with her depth of knowledge.... and this additional self-awareness has already changed my life and continued application of the method will undoubtedly provide repeating benefit with all of the other relationships where I have unfinished business.

This program helped me deal with past grief that I had not dealt with in years and I was able to overcome some issues that I had buried and didn't know that I needed to deal with.
Support Groups08/07/2024Participant in Akron, Ohio
Our facilitator was extremely helpful, knowing when to prompt you to think about some things you haven't considered before and when to remain quiet and give you time without making you feel rushed or pressured to do anything. They created a safe space for all of us as we shared our stories and then our specific relationship we were working on with our partners, which was a very valuable aspect of the program for me.
