  • A brief introduction to grief and loss and ways of coping: https://counseling.uic.edu/grief-and-loss-2/
  • Students are welcome to present for any number of Counseling Center services that fit their needs. Grief often falls within the scope of services for our brief counseling model and is also welcome in our process groups.
    • To pursue those services, students can schedule an initial consultation.
    • For students looking for more of a drop-in or one-time support meeting, theycan check out our drop-in spaces and our single-session appointments.
