Heather Mullan was one of the thousands of British Columbians who lost a loved one to the opioid crisis last year. Dealing with a grief that few could understand, she searched for a support group to help her through. Not only was there nothing in her hometown of Langley, but nothing in the lower mainland for people who’ve lost a loved one to substance abuse. So she decided to start her own.

The first meeting for the Surrey chapter of GRASP is this week, March 1st, at the Cloverdale Rec Centre. For more information you can email Heather at [email protected] or go to grasphelp.org.
