Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Fill in the Philly HEALs sign-up survey linked from the city's grief support page to get the meeting link. To ask questions, call Philly HEALs staff at (215) 982-0959..

Check with the group before you show up. You need to sign up first.

What to expect

Each session runs one hour, 6 to 7 pm Eastern on Mondays, online. It is for men grieving a loss that carries stigma, and you meet other men with similar losses. The page does not say which online platform is used, whether cameras are on, or who leads the session.

Tips for your first visit

  • Sign up early so the meeting link reaches you before the session.
  • Choose a quiet, private spot with a good internet connection for the hour.
  • Ask Philly HEALs ahead of time which platform is used, since the page does not say.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The group is open to men with this kind of loss, it is free, and the city page gives a clear sign-up route..
