Supporting Our Community

Our hearts are with the victims of the recent tragedy in Boulder and with their loved ones. We are sending you all love, strength, and compassion. Below are local events and resources available to our community.

EVENTS

Grief Processing Sessions

To all those impacted by the events of March 22, we are with you. We open our hearts and gather in community support. Grief processing support groups, led by trained facilitators and hosted by HeartLight Center and TRU Community Care, are open to the community. We are thankful for those who joined in our first week, and we will post additional groups here in the coming days if there is community interest.
