Our groups are held twice a year in the spring and fall.

The groups include:

     Children's Group

Utilizing various techniques, our children's facilitator works with kids ages 5 to 12 who have experienced the loss of a significant person in their life.  Each child learns to share their grief story in a safe, supportive environment.  Children do not know how to identify their emotions or to express them appropriately but with our guidance they can learn.  Children learn to grieve from watching the adults in their life.  Unfortunately, the parent/parents and the grandparents are usually dealing with their own loss and trying to be "brave" for the child.

     Adolescent Group

Teens, age 13 to 18, are in the most emotionally turbulent time in their lives.  They need guidance as well.  And, they also need to learn how to identify and express their feelings appropriately.  Most of the children and teens we have worked with over the last 16 years have been grieving the loss of a parent, grandparent, or sibling.  In recent years, more teens are grieving over a friend that has committed suicide.  This requires professionals who are well trained.

     Adult Group 

This group is for adult's with a significant loss such as a spouse, a sibling, a parent, or a close friend.

     Parents' Group

We offer a separate group for those adults who are dealing with the death of a child.  This is such a difficult loss for a parent and we feel it needs special attention.
