As Our World Changes…..
Let’s Come Together

A Support Group

Saturdays: November 17, December 1, December 15

Home of the Whatcom Peace & Justice Center)
10:30am-12:30pm

Our world is drastically changing on so many levels: the economy, increased prices, peak oil, loss of jobs and benefits, loss of our freedoms, global warming, over population, pollution, and on and on.

As we work through our denial, the first stage of Elizabeth Kubler Ross’s Five Stages of Grief, we may feel overwhelmed, fearful, angry, sad and/or depressed.

Since many people are afraid to talk about their fears and worries, a few local therapists have come together to offer support groups for our community. Knowing that the more we talk about our concerns and the more we connect with others, the more likely we will find the supportive community we need to face these crucial issues. We invite you to join us.

Since this is a Drop-In Group, you are welcome to attend whenever
you wish. However, for the sake of group cohesion, we do encourage you
to come the entire time on the days you do join us.

The support group facilitators will be Gloria Harrison, Lia Ayley, Francis Ayley, Cyndy Sheldon
