Warm Greetings! I am Ciara, and I take great pride in being a Grief Recovery Method Specialist. I've been familiar with GRM for years and several years ago I was able to become a specialist with a group of Black people in the Akron in order to expand grief recovery services to more Black people and to support with linkage to mental health/wellness services. I value "practicing what you preach", and so I appreciated going through the GRM myself and I continue to utilize what I have gained through GRM personally. I am honored to walk alongside people in their grief to support them in transforming their lives! I am hopeful through this process you can have more peace, more joy, and more appreciation for your story.
