Why join
As healthcare professionals, the emotional toll of losing patients can be deeply profound and often isolating. Yet, it can be incredibly challenging to find a support group specifically tailored to the needs and experiences of clinicians grieving the loss of patients. Our group fills this crucial gap by providing a safe and empathetic space exclusively for clinicians to come together, share their experiences, and receive support from peers who intimately understand the complexities of patient loss within a clinical context. By joining our group, therapists can find validation, camaraderie, and valuable insights that can aid in their healing journey and professional growth.
