Samaritan Offers Free, Virtual Coping With the Holidays Support Group in December



Mount Laurel, NJ – This holiday season is unlike any other, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and health guidelines restricting family and social gatherings. In order to help the south Jersey community cope with the loss of a loved one this time of year, Samaritan is providing a virtual Coping With the Holidays support group through the month of December.

The Samaritan Center for Grief Support, a member of the Samaritan family of services, offers a number of free, online sessions for those seeking support, focusing on their own unique emotional needs during these unprecedented times.

Pre-registration for each free, virtual session is required by calling (856) 452-7677 or e-mailing at [email protected].

For supportive information about coping, communication, compassion for self and others, as well as suggestions for self-care and holiday-related concerns about COVID-19, register for any of the following 90-minute sessions outlined below:

  • Thursday, December 10 – 6-7:30 p.m.
  • Saturday, December 12 – 10-11:30 a.m.
