Men of Compassion

A grief recovery support group for men was held at Cleone’s Closet Resource Center September 4 - November 13, 2020. Six men successfully completed the group. On January 9, 2021, a graduation ceremony was held at the Hillyard Baptist Church to honor these individuals. Group Facilitator was Colin Dunbar who is the Chaplain for WHEN. Ed Ashley is the Director of Men of Compassion. Because of Ed’s deliverance from addictions and abuse, he works to help others find freedom from addictions.
