A $5.00 donation not expected but appreciated.
The Samaritan Counseling Center (SCC) will hold a series of four FREE workshops specifically designed to help individuals and families cope with grief during the Holiday Season.
The Workshops are a small group experience for anyone grieving the loss of a loved one.
The Holidays are a wonderful time for many people, but fraught with sadness for so many others. As John Pavlovitz, writer and pastor so eloquently states: “There’s nothing quite like the holiday season to ratchet up the pressure we feel, not only to have it all together, but to wrap it in lights and tinsel and broadcast it in a heavily filtered Instagram pic. We feel more compelled than ever to feel good, and more guilty than ever to admit that we don’t.”
We are here for you at the Samaritan Counseling Center. In addition to the workshops, we will provide counseling for anyone in need at any of our 15 satellite locations in Western New York.
The SCC has provided the community with life-changing interventions and the resources for ongoing recovery and resiliency for the past 60 years, in a spiritual, faith oriented context. Assistance is targeted toward those who are at risk, have limited funds and/or lack insurance coverage for counseling. Community members who might normally fall through the cracks receive the helping hand and assistance they deserve.
In addition to counseling services, the center provides consultations, training, workshops, and educational programs for physicians, clergy, agencies, congregations, and groups.
Register for the workshops or by calling Reverend Jan at the Samaritan office at 743-9117.
