Baton Rouge, LA - Grief Recovery Center (GRCBR) is excited to announce the launch of the COVID-19 Community Care Program. The pandemic has caused an increase in people experiencing anxiety, depression, and burn out. Additionally, many have lost jobs that provided insurance coverage that provided access to mental health services. Changes in employment, school, and social opportunities make it harder to cope with COVID-19 and prevention measures.
