Moving forward alone after a profound loss of a loved one can sometimes seem overwhelming, whether the loss is recent or in years past. Support from others who have been or are currently dealing with similar struggles or challenges can help one to move forward through the grief process.
Beginning January 22, 2024, NASA MAF/SSC /NSSC employees will have access to a new grief support group facilitated by the Employee Assistance Program. Please note this is a peer support group and not group therapy.
Groups will be held on the second and fourth Mondays from 2-3pm via NASA teams. There is no cost, but registration is required by
