Dayton’s Jewish Family Services will offer the community a grief and loss support group on Thursdays from 3:30 to 5 p.m., beginning Sept. 24. JFS Mental Health Clinician Bonnie Parish will facilitate the group, which she describes as a “caring, confidential, and supportive environment where individuals experiencing the loss of a loved one can find comfort, understanding, and connection with others on a similar journey.” For more information and to register, contact Parish at 937-401-1542 or bparish@jfgd.net.
