The facilitation of a grief group provides a safe environment for children to come together and gain the necessary tools to progress through the grieving process.
Brief Program Description
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that 1 in 10 children will experience the death of a parent by the age of 18. Dealing with loss affects every aspect of a child’s life. Often, families do not talk to each other about death thus making it difficult for children to process the death. Participating in groups designed to address death provides a platform for children to express their thoughts and beliefs regarding death. It is necessary to address key components of grief in an age appropriate manner in an effort to facilitate the development of healthy coping skills. The facilitation of a grief group provides a safe environment for children to come together and gain the necessary tools to progress through the grieving process.
