‘Mess of Feelings’ Workshop March 16

A Mess of Feelings Workshop will be held on Saturday, March 16, from 10 – 11:30 a.m., at the Grief Center, 3115 N. 1000 West Road, Bourbonnais.  This workshop will give grieving individuals and families the chance to understand how messy feelings related to grief can be.

UpliftedCare’s grief counselor will walk attendees through some of these feelings and emotions to help them better navigate their grief journey. Attendees also will be given materials to make their own Grief Survival Kit that will give them some tools and help serve as a reminder that they can make it through their difficult moments.

This FREE workshop is open to individuals and families with children ages five and up. All workshop materials and light refreshments will be provided. Registration is required to attend so materials may be prepared.  For more information or to register, please call UpliftedCare at 815-939-4141.
