The Children’s Peer Support Group
Children and families healing together through their grief.
The Children’s Peer Support Group brings together children to heal through their grief.
- Children receive a valuable opportunity to learn about grief, explore their confusion, express their feelings, and feel the warmth of compassion, with other kids their age in a structured, well-guided program.
- Experienced program facilitators guide the group through their emotions with kid-friendly lessons and activities, while the children learn to share with each other, learn healthy grieving practices, and bond together as a group.
- Parents and Caregivers are encouraged to participate in separate parent/caregiver sessions with the others whose kids attend the Children’s Peer Group.
- They learn together and move through their grief as an adult group, while better supporting their sons or daughters outside of the group. Experienced facilitators lead these sessions as parents/caregivers gain the confidence to know their children are in good hands with Healing Hearts, just like they are.
- Families with multiple kids are welcome and all can attend the Peer Groups that suit their ages.
- For over a decade, Healing Hearts has hosted and facilitated these groups for children and families.
- All group programs are FREE OF CHARGE to attendees.
