Children and Teen Support Groups
Children and teens are placed in a group based on their grade level so they are with similar-aged children who have also experienced a death.
The curriculum for all groups is planned to assist children in focusing on their feelings and learning strategies to express their grief through:
Art
Stories
Play
Music
Participants are given a chance to focus on special memories and to talk about their loved one in a nonjudgmental and confidential setting.
Parent/Adult Caregiver Support Groups
While the children and teens meet in their groups, parents and adult caregivers meet in groups based on their relationship with the person who died. Parents have the opportunity to express their grief by discussing:
Coping Skills
Ways to help their child navigate their grief
Strategies for caring for a grieving family
About Group Facilitators
Group Facilitators are volunteers who guide the support groups, provide the curriculum, and guide participants through their grief journey.
