Horizon Health Offers New Bereavement Support Group

Horizon Health is offering a new support group to help people cope with the loss of a loved one.

The Compassionate Friends Bereavement Group will meet the second Monday of each month, from 3 to 4 pm, starting June 9, in Conference Room F (2nd floor/Paris Clinic West), at Horizon Health’s main campus in Paris. The support group is free and open to the public.

April Stowers and Marissa Rollins, social services coordinators at Horizon Health, said community members and Grief Support Group participants have been asking for ongoing bereavement support beyond the Grief Support Group.

“In 2025 especially, people in our communities are experiencing unexpected and incredibly tragic passings of loved ones,” Marissa said.

The current Grief Support Group will remain intact as a closed group, meaning registration is required. The Compassionate Friends Bereavement Group is an open group with no registration required. A new topic will be featured each month.

For more information about the Compassionate Friends Bereavement Group, call Marissa Rollins at 217-466-4598 or April Stowers at 217-466-4862.
