Support for kids
Healing Little Hearts is a 7-week program for children ages 4-12 and their parents/caregivers. The goal of the program is to help children learn about grief and how to cope when someone in their life dies. It is a supportive space for children to share their experiences of death and grief with their peers.
Children will:
- Learn about name a wide range of feelings
- Practice healthy ways of expressing their emotions
- Share memories about the person who died
- Develop a sense of community among understanding, grieving peers
Children take part in one of two age-appropriate groups. We recommend any 4-year-olds registered for Healing Little Hearts be attending kindergarten.
The children’s programs are led by professional therapists and 1-2 trained volunteers.
This program also features a peer-led group for parents and caregivers to help them understand how children mourn and how to help them express their feelings of loss.
