I'm very interested in being in a grief recovery group but no one is certified in the Boise area. However, I do see that you have a class coming to Boise soon. Can you give my name to the people who are starting groups in the area?
I'd obviously love to attend the training but can't afford it.

HI Carin,
Thanks for your note. I found one of our very experienced Specialists in Boise who's not registered on our Finder [she will be soon]. Her name is Sherrie Kvamme and her phone is 541-893-6315. She knows you may call and she's more than glad to talk to you.
Warm regards,
Russell

The reason I went through the training and run the 12-week sessions (and individual sessions) is simply it's the best I have found anywhere. As a pastoral counselor and chaplain, this provides exactly what is needed to recover from the pain brought on by loss. I have a growing number of past participants who would attest to that.
