Family Loss Group at BU
The Family (and Close Friend) Loss Group is for students who have lost or are in the process of losing a loved one. The group is part of a national organization, the Students of the Actively Moving Forward Support Network, with around 70 branches nationwide. The group will provide a confidential, supportive forum for students to share their experiences with family loss, and to receive support from peers who have had similar experiences. In addition, the group will work with the Center for Psychiatric Rehab, the BU Chaplaincy, and the BU Community Service Center in offering community service activities. Students are encouraged to email the group as the support group meetings often run more smoothly and people feel significantly more comfortable when they have spoken with an AMF member prior to attending.
