Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. At Good Shepherd, our care groups provide a safe and supportive community to walk with you through grief, addiction, caregiving, and more. Here, you’ll find understanding, encouragement and practical tools to help you along the way. Explore our groups below and discover how faith and community can make all the difference.

PALS

learn more

Good Shepherd offers support to parents who have loved ones who are addicts.

Parents with an adult child dealing with substance use disorder involving either drugs or alcohol find hope and support through Parents of Addicted Loved Ones (PAL).

It’s not an easy journey, but you don’t have to go at it alone.

GRIEFSHARE

register here

A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief.

Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way. The support group will be facilitated by Richard Beatty. Richard has been facilitating GriefShare at Good Shepherd for over 3 years. There is no cost for GriefShare.

Call (816) 734-2216 for more information.
