Approximately 15 children comprise each support group. Parents or caregivers meet in a separate group using a standard adult support group model with trained and experienced facilitators in the ratio ten adults to one facilitator. Enrollment in support groups includes an information session and tour for the adults followed by a scheduled intake interview for both adults and children. Following the interview children are place in appropriate age groups when openings exist. There is a moderate fee for Children to Children services, however it is our policy that no child will be turned away for inability to pay.
Death often invites questions of a spiritual nature to children as well as adults.
Although specific religious beliefs are not presented, support and encouragement is given for a child to talk and express their concerns. In addition, we encourage then to share their feelings with their family. Children to Children is dedicated to providing a safe lace where grieving children may share their loss experiences in a caring, supportive environment. Our unique support services extend to the entire community, all as participants in the healing process.
