Please join the Bay Center for support, understanding, and acceptance through the grieving process. The Grief Support Groups, facilitated by licensed professional counselors, clergy members, and trained grief facilitators, help participants explore their reactions to loss within a trusting and confidential environment. Participants learn about the grieving process and develop strategies for coping to begin to integrate this change in their lives. Along with the Kilmarnock Grief Support Group, new in 2022, a Heathsville Grief Support Group has been added, along with a Loss From Suicide Grief Support Group, and a Holiday Season Grief Support Group. Learn more about the Grief Support Groups.
The Bay Center has joined together with the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Rappahannock to bring the Pledge to End Racism to the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula. During two days of education and discussion on addressing racism, participants learn together and challenge one another. Moving from education to action, participants then commit to spread racial justice throughout our community. Learn More about The Pledge to End Racism.
The Bay Center holds an annual gathering for the Helpers & Healers of our community, providing an opportunity to meet, share information, and network with others who hold common interests and clientele – those who provide healthcare, psychological, clerical, spiritual, and complementary services in the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula. Learn more about the Helpers & Healers gathering.
