Groups:
We offer support groups for children ages three through nineteen. We have separate groups for children and teens that are grieving the loss of someone they love because of death, divorce or separation. We also help children who are in foster care, and those with anticipitory grief.
A typical group includes up to 15 children, eight trained volunteer facilitators and staff. An adult family member or care-giver must accompany each child and may participate in the adult support group which meets simultaneously. For Grieving Children.

A Center For Grieving Children offers mutual support and acceptance through listening and sharing.
