Community Grief Support

INDIVIDUAL, COUPLE AND FAMILY COUNSELING

When will I feel Happy? Grief can overwhelm feelings of joy and happiness. Grief makes us feel isolated confused, apprehensive and just downright UNHAPPY. If your loved one died and you are struggling with an emotional stew that feels out of control, we can help! Our grief support groups provide a safe haven for understanding and healing as you share with other grievers in a supportive and confidential environment. Sign up today! There is no charge. Just call 205.870.8667 to schedule an intake interview.
	I’m Steve Sweatt, Clinical Director at CGSS. As an experienced counselor and one who has also lost family members I cherished, I know how devastating the pain of grief can be. We struggle with our feelings but are reluctant to burden family and friends who are grieving in their own way. There is something YOU can do for yourself! I encourage you to join one of our free support groups or consider grief counseling. Our support groups offer a safe haven for healing and support as we companion you on the painful journey through loss.
These groups have an amazing power to heal as members share together in a safe, supportive and confidential environment. Volunteers tell about their grief journeys and rekindle hope that we can once again love life. There is no cost. If you are tired of struggling with your grief alone, help is available. Our support groups are either in session or starting soon. All you have to do is call 205-870-8667 for an intake interview. Do it today – you’ll be glad you did! Are you or someone you know struggling with grief? Individual, couple and family grief counseling is available – Licensed professional and pastoral counselors are available Monday - Friday from 9am-5pm to help adults with issues related to the loss of a loved one. There is no fee for this service. Please call 205-870-8667 for an appointment. We also serve individual counseling referrals from other local agencies such as Alethia House, The Amelia Center, The Crisis Center, The Lovelady Center, Oasis Women's Counseling Center, Pathways, and UAB's Treatment Alternatives to Safer Communities (TASC), as well as from healthcare professionals, hospice and faith-based organizations. Referrals are welcome from anyone who knows of someone in need of our help. Community Grief Support Service is a non-profit corporation organized in 1996 for the purpose of providing free compassionate counseling, education, and support for bereaved persons in the Greater Birmingham Area. Choose hope and let CGSS help you rebuild your life.
