What can the Craig School of Business Center for Entrepreneurship do for you?

Northwest Health Services Inc. 2303 Village Drive St. Joseph, MO 64506 816-271-8261

www.nwhealth-services.com Health Services

The Center for Entrepreneurship at Missouri Western State University trains, mentors and supports business owners and entrepreneurs in the St. Joseph area and beyond. We provide one-on-one business coaching as well as connect clients to helpful programs and resources.

Northwest Health an organization of Federally Qualified Community Health Centers was founded by leaders in Holt County in 1983 and was originally created to recruit physicians to support a heavy shortage of providers in the area.

With lack of financial resources and providers for patients in these areas, Northwest Health was established as a Federally Qualified Community Health Center (FQHC) to help combat costs for individuals who desperately needed care. From there, Northwest Health was inspired by the belief that all people, regardless of insurance status, have access to affordable healthcare.

After establishing in Holt County, Northwest Health continued to see the struggles with access to affordable healthcare across rural Missouri.

Leaders decided to continue to build on access to care by expanding to King City, Hamilton and Braymer.

With this expansion to rural communities in Northwest Missouri, Northwest Health discovered opportunities in St. Joseph to expand access to care to groups who often were left behind. Now you can find community health centers all across St. Joseph at the group’s North End Health Center, Family Medicine Associates, South Side Health Center, Northwest Family Dental and a partnership with the Social Welfare Board that provided access to care of the homeless population.

Affordable healthcare is an important part of Northwest Health’s

architecture. Northwest Health offers a Discount Program for individuals who qualify. The Discount Program is based on a sliding scale based on income. Northwest Health also offers payment plans as low as $5 a month to take every avenue possible to keep healthcare affordable. The addition of Certified Application Counselors has also helped individuals find affordable options for health insurance.

Currently Northwest Health has clinics all across Northwest Missouri in Mound City, Savannah, St. Joseph, King City, Hamilton, Braymer and Cainsville.

As a safety-net provider, Northwest Health is always finding new ways to capture individuals who slip through the cracks. Currently Northwest Health offers a welcoming alternative to the Emergency Room by providing a Saturday Clinic at the Family Medicine Associates clinic on the corner of Beck Road and Village Drive. In February, Northwest Health will begin providing an extended hours clinic. This clinic will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and will focus on families who cannot make it to appointments during business hours.

It will also operate for immediate care where no appointments are necessary and walk-ins are welcome.

Northwest Health has been providing affordable options for individuals for over 30 years and continues to outreach and educate the public on services available to them. More information is available at nwhealth-services.org.

Local Certification Program Addresses Need for Manufacturing Skills Chamber & St. Joseph Workforce Development Alliance Works Together to Fill Need Business and education have partnered together to bring a manufacturing skills program to the community. The Manufacturing Technician Certification (MT1) Program was originated by the Manufacturing Skills Institute, a program of the Virginia Manufacturers Association. MT1 is a highlyspecialized training program based on manufacturing skills and the techniques and interrelationships found in advanced manufacturing.

The program came to the attention of those who participate in the St. Joseph Workforce Development Alliance this summer. It was determined that it would offer a course of study to address necessary skills for those seeking employment in manufacturing or production in St. Joseph.

“The number one concern of local

employers is finding individuals with technical and vocational skills,” said R. Patt Lilly, President and CEO of the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce. “Many of these positions go unfilled.”

Initially the program is being implemented at Hillyard Technical Center. Dr. Gary Clapp from Missouri Western State University and Dr. Tammy Platt from the Innovation Stockyard have been trained and certified as MT1 instructors. The university has also been certified as an MT1 testing center.

“Better preparing citizens for jobs is an important need in our community, and the University and the Innovation Stockyard are pleased to provide instruction for the MT1 certification at no cost to Hillyard students,” said Dr. Gordon Mapley, dean of Missouri Western’s Western Institute.

The MT1 Certification course will be taught over two semesters and began Sept. 18. More than 20 students make up the initial class and will have the opportunity to earn the MT1 Certification following completion of coursework and a final exam.

Coursework includes training in math and measurement; spatial reasoning and manufacturing technology; and quality and business acumen.

“Students who complete the course of work and earn the MT1 Certification will be highly-sought after by local companies,” Mr. Lilly said. “They will have the opportunity out of high school to pursue manufacturing jobs paying $15 an hour and greater. Plus, they will have the skills necessary to pursue a career in skilled manufacturing, a growing

“The United Way is happy to see the Chamber and the Workforce Development Alliance members addressing needs of employers and residents,” said Kylee Strough, President of the United Way of Greater St. Joseph. “Obtaining and supporting the MT1 Program will ensure more residents have good jobs and that employers stay happy with fewer vacancies.”

“We are thankful to the AT&T Foundation and the United Way for recognizing the value in workforce development and their support of this program in particular,” said R. Patt Lilly, President and CEO of the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce.

AT&T Foundation and United Way Profit in Education have joined a local effort to train residents for available jobs in St. Joseph.

In September, the St. Joseph Workforce Development Alliance launched the Manufacturing Technician Certification (MT1) Program. This is a highlyspecialized training program based on manufacturing skills and the techniques and interrelationships found in advanced manufacturing.

Many discussions with local employers who were unable to fill vacant positions made the need for more local training clear.

Officials with the United Way Profit in Education program saw the community benefit of the MT1 Certification program and applied for an AT&T Foundation grant. The $5,000 grant was fully funded and will be used for program testing, teaching

segment of our local economy.”

The partnership that has brought the course about includes Missouri Western State University, St. Joseph School District, the Innovation Stockyard and the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce. Local manufacturers have assisted in providing the initial funding to support the program at Hillyard.

“I am excited about the program and the opportunities it will offer local students and employers,” Mr. Lilly said. “It will prepare high school students for good-paying careers in manufacturing and provide a skilled talent pool for employers from which to hire.”

Workforce Development Issues Discussed at Economic Summit Different Kinds of Education Options Discussed As Employers Struggle to Fill Vacancies In today’s economy, the most important issue facing employers is having a skilled and capable workforce. Finding these people is the challenge. Katherine DeRosear, Director of Workforce Development for the Virginia Manufacturers Association, spoke to about 170 members of the St. Joseph business community about the issue at the Chamber’s Economic Summit on Oct. 21.

The recent addition of the Manufacturing Technician Certification (MT1) Program, a highlyspecialized training program based on manufacturing skills and the techniques and interrelationships found in advanced manufacturing, helps St. Joseph be ahead of the pack in addressing the workforce needs of employers.

“This is a national issue, but one that regions must address,” Ms. DeRosear said. “There is a gap between jobs that require more than

a high school diploma, but not a college degree.”

She said in the Kansas City area there are 76,246 manufacturing jobs available, of those 79 percent require industry certifications after a high school diploma, 16 percent require a four-year college degree and 5 percent require an associate degree.

Those jobs average a yearly earning of $70,492.

“Don’t over-educate,” Ms. DeRosear said. “It’s a disservice.”

She encouraged those in attendance to help spread the word that today’s manufacturing is not the same as when our grandfathers worked in factories. They are safe places that require troubleshooting skills to make sure equipment works properly. Even though manufacturing is a safe and well-paying field, only three out of 10 parents encourage their own children to go into the field.

“It’s a perception problem,” she

said.

To help solve the problem, she said employers should start advertising the industry credentials that are needed for the position, so job seekers know what they need instead of pursuing four-year degrees that may not lead to those particular jobs. Next, the training and testing for the certification must be available.

“St. Joseph is leading the nation in this area by establishing the MT1 program,” Ms. DeRosear said.

Katherine DeRosear addresses attendees of the Patt Lilly, President Economic Summit Luncheon held on Oct. 21. and CEO of the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce, Kansas City, but we’re actually doing acknowledged how quickly St. Joseph it here,” Mr. Lilly said. The event business and education leaders came was presented by the Innovation together to make the MT1 program Stockyard. available (it currently has more than 20 students enrolled).

The Plymouth Building has been donated to Mosaic Life Care, which will repurpose the former Shooters building. can get their photos taken with Santa for a modest fee.

The ceremonial lighting of the Mayor’s Christmas tree at Coleman Hawkins Park at Felix Street Square will take place at 6:10 p.m.

Entertainment will be provided by the Griffey School for the Arts.

While at the event, families can enjoy free entertainment, free carriages rides and help themselves to homemade cookies, hot cider and cocoa provided by the downtown churches. They can also wander around and see all the festively decorated windows.

Event organizers invite everyone to spend the day downtown on December 5 exploring the variety of First Saturdays happenings in the businesses, have a bite to eat at one of the locally-owned restaurants and do some holiday shopping.

Enjoy the spirit of the season and the grand downtown holiday tradition.

History in the Re-Making Mosaic Life Care has graciously accepted the donation of the historic Plymouth Department Store building at 521-523 Felix St. by Mr. Robert Anderson, who formerly operated Shooters Pool Hall at the location.

Mosaic Life Care will move forward immediately to stabilize the walls and

repair the leaking roof of the historic property. Plans are uncertain for the building at this point, but it will probably focus on retail space and clinical services.

The St. Joseph Downtown Partnership is pleased that another historic building in our downtown will be saved and rehabilitated. This building has been an important part of our community’s history since 1908. The building was originally built

by Block Brothers Clothing Co. The Plymouth Clothing Company occupied the building for many years. In 1947, the building suffered a major fire. The exterior retains the original terra cotta; the upstairs windows were replaced with glass blocks after the fire. The history of this grand historic building will now be preserved for future generations of this community.

We’ll keep moving forward, putting our clients first like we’ve always done. Business as usual.

Recently President Obama has asked the Department of Labor to set a new rule toward fiduciary responsibility. This means brokers who provide investment services driven by commission or perks would be required to operate on a new standard that puts investors’ interests first.

We agree, and we’ll keep putting investors’ needs first in a fee-only setting without the heavy sales pitch. (In other words, it’s business as usual.)

Contact our team today to find out why “nonconflicted advice” is part of business as usual at Family Investment Center.

The St. Joseph Downtown Community Improvement District is in the process of putting up new banners in the Arts and Entertainment District. The District funded the banners and they represent different aspects of the area. The colorful banners come in ten different designs and weather permitting will soon be seen throughout the downtown.

BioZyme Breaks Ground on $1.2 Million Warehouse/Dock Expansion BioZyme, manufacturer of Amaferm®, Sure Champ®, VitaFerm® and other proprietary, natural feed supplements for cattle, commercial poultry and swine, and show livestock, broke ground in September on a $1.2 million warehouse and dock addition to its main supplement production facility in St. Joseph, Mo. The 14,000-square-foot addition, under construction at 6010 Stockyards Expressway, is expected to be completed in spring 2016 and will provide much-needed space for the increasing number of trucks needed to pick up orders. BioZyme relies entirely on outside carriers to transport its products to customers.

Increased demand for BioZyme’s natural feed supplements domestically and internationally prompted the facility expansion. BioZyme’s products are formulated to promote animal health, digestion, production and reproduction.

“BioZyme has grown approximately 30 percent annually over the past couple of years, so additional room was desperately needed to transport our products more efficiently,” said Lisa Norton,

BioZyme Vice-President of Sales and Marketing. “The end goal of the expansion is providing better customer service.”

Ms. Norton said that BioZyme’s customers are trying to provide a product to the consumer that is consistent in quality and safety.

“We try to formulate products that allow that animal to maximize its genetic potential,” she said. “By providing innovative, high-quality, research-proven products, we allow that animal to reach its genetic potential so that the consumer sees a consistent product it can trust.”

In addition to the warehouse expansion, BioZyme has expanded the facility’s office space to accommodate its growing staff. In the past 18 months, BioZyme has hired 25 people, in addition to initiating a double shift in March. In September, BioZyme announced the addition of a new commercial LiquiFerm® brand to its Supplement Division.

Ms. Norton chalked up the growth to research and high quality standards.

“Our products do exactly what we say they do and our people do

exactly what they say they’re going to do,” she said. “None of this would be possible without our team.”

BioZyme also recently expanded its research farm, which was purchased in 2012 and is staffed by a PhD and support staff.

“Part of having products that do exactly what we say they do – we have to make sure we’ve tested the product on real life animals and have data to back it up. The farm has really helped us stay on the right track,” she said.

Headquartered in St. Joseph, BioZyme reaches a global market of customers throughout the U.S., Canada, South America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Part of St. Joseph’s appeal is that it is centrally located.

“We have different divisions in our company, but the part that is growing the fastest is the manufacturing plant and that’s located in St. Joseph,”

she said. “Getting product all across the U.S. is a challenge, but the concentrated number of livestock in our nation is in the middle of the country. We’re right smack dab in the middle of the livestock concentration.”

She said, besides transportation, other perks of being in St. Joseph are related to quality of life, like the small town luxuries of no traffic, low crime and an easy to get around small city.

Plus, agriculture surrounds St. Joseph.

“Most of our employees come from an agriculture background and we appreciate that as well,” Ms. Norton said. “We’re proud to be a part of a community that supports the business community from a philosophy perspective. We want to be a part of a community that drives the growth that drives the jobs and makes St. Joseph a great place to live.” For more information about BioZyme, visit www. biozymeinc.com

Are We An Entrepreneur-Friendly Community?

What does it mean to be an entrepreneur-friendly community?

It means that the community is strategically building its environment to support small businesses and entrepreneurs. For example, the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) provides a community-based program that helps create an entrepreneur environment, building entrepreneurs and small business strategy into the community’s overall economic development strategies. The GDEcD has taken Georgia’s communities through proven methods designed to establish an entrepreneur support program, help them better understand their existing entrepreneur environment and develop sustainable, effective local strategies.

Why is it important to be an entrepreneur-friendly community?

The importance and need to support almost half of our entire private sector businesses seems obvious when you look at the numbers. Forty-five percent of the private sector employees work for a small business with less than 50 employees. In 2014, of the

11

Fall 2015

173,262 businesses in Missouri, 98 percent or 169,953 have 99 or fewer employees, according to a 2014 Missouri Economic Research report. Additionally, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Project completed a comparative international study that concluded that there is a positive and significant relationship between entrepreneurial activity and economic growth, and that no countries with high levels of entrepreneurial activity have low levels of economic growth.

Therefore, to have a vibrant, sustainable future, communities need to support entrepreneurship and small businesses or risk losing them to other communities that are entrepreneur friendly.

Kansas City is listed as No. 48 and St. Louis as No. 47 of the top 50 entrepreneur-friendly cities in the world ranked by averaging the results from NerdWallet, Inc., Entrepreneur, Forbes, and Fortune.

The Small Business & Technology Development Center (SBTDC) is located inside the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce. You do not need to be a member of the Chamber to receive services. The SBTDC can complete a walk-through of your business to determine if there are any wastes that are causing your operation to run inefficiently and what can be done to correct those situations. All services performed by the SBTDC are pre-paid by the Small Business Administration, so there is never a charge to the business.

each year, TiE brings together the entrepreneurial community to learn from local leaders, as well as each other. Other communities around us, as part of the “Midwest Silicon Prairie,” include Omaha, Neb. (No. 37) and Des Moines, Iowa (No. 42), according to MBA Central.org’s report “The Top 50+ Entrepreneur Friendly Cities.”

The Midwest Silicon Prairie is loosely defined as the states bordering along Interstate 29; specifically Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Kansas, Minnesota, North Dakota and Missouri. There’s a news site, siliconprairienews.com, dedicated to this area and includes information on investments, startups, conferences, opportunities to speak with C level tech leaders, and more.

According to Inc., some startup tech companies are leaving the tech mecca of Silicon Valley for areas in Silicon Prairie where there are more affordable arrangements, land is flat, cost of living is low, and people still genuinely ask how you’re doing.

Our region is getting to look more and more like Silicon Valley’s ecosystem because we have places such as the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Northwest Missouri State University, ranked as the No. 21 university business incubator (UBI) in the University Global Top 25 Rankings, a survey that included incubators in 67 countries.

Additionally, the Missouri Small Business and Technology Development Centers are located in three cities in Northwest Missouri to coach and lead entrepreneurs with growth strategies, significant market research, finding investments, and business workshops. The Cup of Joe was created this year out of a grass roots, collaborative effort between local business resources and entrepreneurs to bring people together each week to share their start-up or business challenges, share innovative ideas, and learn from each other.

We have universities, students, innovators, incubators, assistance for entrepreneurs, investment opportunities, and more to make our region the most attractive to homegrown entrepreneurs and those looking to relocate here. So, why isn’t Northwest Missouri making the top 50 list for entrepreneur-friendly communities?

I believe we are on the cusp of something wonderful, but we aren’t strategically approaching this topic with all the leaders needed around the same table. The University of Alabama says that leaders such as policy makers, educators, business service providers, community leaders and community members all must be on board with creating a culture that embraces entrepreneurship. A culture that assists you if you fail…A culture that creates community policies causing start-ups and small business growth so easy, you can’t help but try! Vancouver, for example, offers one point of contact for city and state business licensing with everything available online. The Missouri Business Portal allows one site access for all things staterelated so that businesses can start, grow or train their workforce, but this website doesn’t include local level information, and isn’t linked to our local websites where most entrepreneurs begin their search to get a business license.

So, are we an entrepreneurfriendly community? I think we are trying to be, and the framework and resources are in place. We just need to join together and think strategically for our region to encourage the environment that cultivates and magnetizes entrepreneurs to our region. Then we will flourish and be proud to be known as entrepreneur friendly!

CFE Helps MWSU Alum Pursue Dream, Keep Local Business Open needed.�

Ms. Weeks said one of the Center’s focuses is trying to keep longtime local businesses from closing, so she was more than willing to work with Mr. Myers. The Benjamin Moore store opened in 1956 and was owned by Bill Schaller. “I am very happy for Justin, and I know he will be successful with Heartland Paint,� Ms. Weeks said. “That is exactly the mission of the Center for Entrepreneurship.�

Mr. Myers said, in a way, he has come full circle. Growing up in Grain Valley, Mo., his father was a selfemployed contractor, and the young Mr. Myers spent a lot of summers with a paintbrush in hand. Now he owns a business that sells paint. “I feel very good. I am looking forward to getting out in the community to network and see how I can offer my services to the community,� he said. “I hope to eventually give back by helping other small businesses.�

Missouri Western’s Center for Entrepreneurship opened in the fall of 2014, and offers help to both new and existing business owners so they can be successful. The Center also helps business owners with succession plans if they are interested in retiring or selling their businesses.

Ms. Weeks noted that all of the Center’s services are free and strictly confidential. To contact her, call the Center at (816) 271-4283 or e-mail aweeks@missouriwestern.edu.

With the assistance of the Craig School of Business’s Center for Entrepreneurship at Missouri Western State University, a recent Missouri Western alumnus became an entrepreneur and a longtime local business will remain open.

A grand opening for Heartland Paint at 2327 N. Belt Hwy., previously Store of Colors, was held Oct. 29.

Justin Myers graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in December 2014 and enrolled in the spring 2015 Applied Entrepreneurship course with the hope of being awarded a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory or Aspen Leaf Yogurt store through Missouri Western’s unique entrepreneurship program.

He was not selected to receive a store, but Mr. Myers wasn’t ready to give up his entrepreneurial dream. He met with Annette Weeks, director of the CSB’s Center for Entrepreneurship.

She knew that Peter and Elizabeth Kamstra were interested in selling their St. Joseph Benjamin Moore paint store, and she was able to connect them with Mr. Myers.

The Center and its advisory council offered resources and assistance to Mr. Myers, and in early October, financing was arranged to purchase the store. Mr. Myers renamed the store Heartland Paint. “It was the best helping hand I’ve ever had,� Mr. Myers said of the Center’s assistance. “Annette helped me know which steps to take and introduced me to the connections I

St. Joseph Chamber Wins ‘Chamber of the Year’ Award for the State The Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry has recognized the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce as its 2015 Chamber of the Year. The St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce will be presented this award during the Missouri Chamber Annual Meeting Nov. 19 at the Intercontinental Kansas City at the Plaza.

Each year, the Missouri Chamber selects a local Chamber of Commerce that sets the standard in economic development, advocacy and innovation. The St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce was selected from more than 200 local chambers that serve communities all across the state.

“The St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce raises the bar for chambers all across Missouri and beyond,” said Dan Mehan, Missouri Chamber president and CEO. “Their continuous support and promotion of their members, local business and community exemplify the actions of what a Chamber of Commerce should be doing.”

Founded more than 150 years ago, the St. Joseph Chamber is a pillar in the community and has exploded in growth in the last few years. They recently surpassed the 1200 member mark because of a new program they have developed. Ten years ago the chamber stood at 850 members and have signed up 300 members just in

the last year. The program seeks to identify new member expectations and then match those with Chamber programs and events to get the members engaged with the chamber.

The St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce was one of the first members of the Missouri Chamber Federation, a collaborative group of the state’s most influential chambers of commerce working together on statewide initiatives.

“We are grateful for the leadership and time the St. Joseph Chamber lends to this initiative,” Mehan said.

“We are fortunate to be able to leverage St. Joseph’s success and apply best practices from such strong communities for the betterment of the rest of the state.”

According to Patt Lilly, St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce President, the ten person staff of the chamber is what makes it great.

“We have the best staff, and they have grown the membership,” Lilly says. “The chamber brings value to the community and to the members because of the staff.”

One issue the Chamber has chosen to address is the lack of an available workforce in manufacturing jobs in the area. St. Joseph is unique in that for a city of its size it does not

have a community college to train in these jobs. The Chamber partnered with several manufacturers, Missouri Western State University, the St. Joseph school District and Hillyard Technical Center to create the St. Joseph Workforce Development Alliance, which has implemented a manufacturing certificate program called MT1.

“We have been working to create a manufacturing curriculum that could be taught at high school level through the local tech school in partnership with Missouri Western and believe the MT1 certification is a good start,” Mr. Lilly says.

Any student who completes the program receives a certificate in manufacturing which is recognized by the local companies. The first class through the program began this fall and the chamber estimates 150-200 students will benefit from the program annually.

“Striving to improve St. Joseph by creating the St. Joseph Workforce Development Alliance, promoting job growth by developing programs in economic development by supporting

existing business, business attraction, business creation and workforce development are all reasons why they are named Chamber of the Year,” Mehan said. “The St. Joseph community should be proud of their Chamber team, led

by President Mr. Patt Lilly, for their outstanding accomplishments and many successes!”

Small Business Website Earns Award The Chamber of Commerce Executives (CCEM) of Missouri honored the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce with the Award of Excellence for Electronic Communication at the CCEM annual association meeting on September 24, 2015, in Jefferson City. The St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce produced an award-winning Small Business Resource Center website to support its members and local community.

The website, stjosephsmallbusiness.com, offers articles by local small business professionals in their areas of expertise like law, marketing, finance, etc. It also answers frequently asked questions about how to start a business in St. Joseph. The site was created by local small businesses SJC Marketing and

Sandlot Strategic (formerly St.Joe Web) under the guidance of the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce. It is sponsored

by American Family Insurance, which offers occasional articles from its own Small Business Accelerator website.

“It is an honor to receive the Award of Excellence for Electronic Communication from CCEM,” said R. Patt Lilly, President and CEO of the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce.

“The Small Business Resource Center website is made by small businesses owners for small business owners.

There isn’t another website like it to our knowledge. We’re happy to see it recognized because it gives recognition to all of the Chamber members who have submitted articles to make it a success.”

Teen charged with rape

A 17-year-old Trenton, Mo., resident was charged after allegedly impregnating a 13-year-old girl this summer.

Isaiah Lickteig was charged Sept.

27 with a Class C felony of seconddegree statutory rape after he allegedly had a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old girl between July and August. Court documents stated that the sexual conduct occurred at least twice during the summer, resulting in the victim becoming pregnant.

Mr. Lickteig was taken into custody earlier this week and later posted a $15,000 surety bond. No upcoming court date was scheduled by Tuesday.

Workshop targets grief issues Meierhoffer Funeral Home & Crematory and Crossroads Hospice has a new Grief Recovery Workshop beginning for families and caregivers from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 5.

This eight-week support group is open to anyone in the community and will be offered on a reoccurring schedule throughout the year. The program creates the safety and teaches correct action choices that help people “move beyond” the pain caused by a loss. It is an eightweek program.

The Grief Recovery Program builds on each previous session. Attendance and commitment are essential.

In order to preserve the integrity of the structure, no one will be admitted after the second session.

For more information on the Grief Recovery Workshop, please contact Jennifer Miller at 816-2710355.
