Labyrinth: One-Day Grief Retreat
Community Events
Saturday, April 20, 2013
Camp Wyman, Eureka, MO
Labyrinth is a one-day grief retreat for teens who have experienced the death of a loved one. Grief is a complex emotion for anyone, but it’s especially so for teenagers.
- Are you often told to “be strong” for other family members?
- Do you put your own grief on hold?
- Are you feeling stunned and shocked if the death was sudden?
- Are you off-balance at school or at home?
- Do you feel your friends don’t understand how to handle the death?
If so, this one-day retreat will provide:
- ways to identify and express grief through special activities and sharing
- opportunities to remember the friend or family member who died
- tools to cope with the loss in the future
- an opportunity to meet other teens who may feel the same way
- a chance to make new friends
Labyrinth is held at Camp Wyman in Eureka, Mo. and is offered at no charge to the participants. Labyrinth is made possible through the support of Magellan Health Services and Friends of Wings. For more information, call 314-953-1676, email griefsupport@bjc.org, or download the retreat flyer.
