FAQs
Our church is nondenominational. Is the iCare program appropriate?
The iCare program is designed for anyone who wants to facilitate a grief support group in a Christ-centered church, regardless of denomination. Each of the 8 sessions tackles a challenge commonly experienced during grief. Participants are invited to explore the Bible to see what it says about that week’s topic, and then share what they found (if desired) at the next session. It also includes suggested readings, sample prayers, handouts, self-care tips, and a place for Bible journaling. The emphasis is on nourishing the mind, body and soul after loss while making new friends from group members who understand.
Can the 8-week program be modified?
Yes, it easily adapts to a drop-in format and also can be shortened to a 6-week program by picking and choosing from the 8 sessions.
Can I facilitate an iCare grief support group even if I’ve never done it before?
Yes. The facilitator manual includes full instructions and forms so you can lead a grief support group even if you’ve never done it before.
Can I use the facilitator manual for more than one session?
Yes. Although each facilitator should have their own manual, it is designed for repeat use. The participant workbooks are designed for each participant to use and keep.
