What the GRIEF?!
Supporting Children Through Loss with Compassionate Care
Grief is not something to "get over"—it's something we learn to carry with support, understanding, and connection.
The Power of Peer Support: Benefits of Group Participation
When children experience loss, they often feel isolated. Our program brings together young people who share the experience of loss, creating a supportive community where healing can begin.
Children discover they're not alone. Being surrounded by peers who understand helps break through isolation.
A judgment-free environment to openly express difficult emotions without fear of burdening others.
Learn age-appropriate ways to name and express feelings—a lifelong tool for processing difficult experiences.
