Pet Loss Support Group
Coping with the loss of a pet can often times be a stressful experience. Veterinary Social Work PAUSE Program is offering a Pet Loss Support Group to help those experiencing the grief process. The group meetings are free and are designed for anyone whose pet has died, is terminally ill or physically lost.
The group is meant to provide emotional, psychological and moral support for its members. It is not a therapy group. The group offers:
- A supportive environment where people can share their varied experience of loss and grieving.
- A place to remember and honor the life of their pet.
- An opportunity to connect with other bereaved pet owners and learn additional ways of coping with the loss of a pet.
Please see Upcoming Events on the UT VSW homepage for the next group.
