An upcoming program sponsored by Iberia Mental Health Initiative and Hospice of Acadian will help residents cope with grief during the holidays.

As the loss of a loved one can cause stress and painful emotions during the holidays, this program will be presented on Wednesday, Dec. 7, from 6 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. at the Iberia Parish Library, Main Branch, 445 E. Main St. in New Iberia.

Mary Bergeron, Director of Community Engagement with Hospice of Acadiana, and Phyllis Babineaux, LCSW, will be the speakers for this event.
