Residents are invited to join a free online event for a conversation about grieving what we have lost during the COVID-19 pandemic and finding ways to move forward.

The session is part of a series, Wellness Community Events: Healing and Holding On - One Conversation at a Time for the Community, which is focused on mental health and wellness issues affecting the community as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. The conversation will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 10 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
