SANFORD — The Center for Grieving children is offering a new peer support group for young adults ages 19 to 30 who have experienced the death of a loved one.
The group will meet on Wednesday evenings, Feb. 4 to April 8. In a peer support group, members find a safe place where common issues and feelings can be explored. Organizers say spending time and having the support of others going through similar experiences penetrates the sense of isolation that many feel. The group will use art, music, writing and more, in addition to discussion.
If you are interested in finding out more about this free program, contact Janice Zurlo at 775-5216 or [email protected] to schedule an initial meeting.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
