Grief Support Group for UM Employees
Thursday 21 November
1:00 - 2:00 pm
Harrison Room, J.D. Williams Library 3rd Floor

Everyone’s experience with grief is unique. This grief support group offers a safe and welcoming space for any employee going through a journey of loss. Participants may choose to share their experiences and/or learn from others going through similar experiences. The group may focus on such issues as exploring the grieving process, handling extreme emotions, creating memorials for a loved one, coping with additional stressors, cultural and societal expectations on grieving, when to seek additional help, and other related issues as needed.

The Grief Support Group is open to any faculty or staff who have experienced loss or death in their life, whether recently or in the past. Confidentiality for all attendees is of utmost importance and no attendance or other records are kept in any personnel or academic file. 

Employees may use this time as a benefit. The Grief Support Group is confidential, and is co-sponsored by the University Counseling Center and HR’s Work-Life Resources office (counslg@olemiss.edu or hr@olemiss.edu), and is facilitated by a licensed counselor.

We will meet in the Harrison Room, which is in the J.D. Williams Library on the 3rd floor outside Archives and Special Collections.

Upcoming dates:*
- November 21
- December 5 and 19

 

* In order to provide two meetings a month, we are moving to a 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month schedule for October, November, and December. Please watch the UM Calendar and UM Today for future announcements about the group.
