MACOMB COUNTY: "Walk With Me" Grief Support Group

Offered at no cost to the community, this group is designed to provide the attendee with an overview of the entire grief journey in addition to opportunities for sharing.

This group is facilitated by Tonya Ratliff, the Owner and Director of Counseling Services at Trinity Family Counseling Center. Tonya’s approach to the group is one fueled by unconditional compassion, as she assists those in attendance in coping with the anguishing adjustment to a life that has changed without their permission.

This group meets for six sessions and is offered four times a year.
