The Reflections program has been holding support groups for grieving children and teens for six years and receives referrals from school counselors, teachers, parents, and other community sources. The groups are open to any child or teen who has lost someone to death by illness or other cause. Attendance at all eight sessions is strongly recommended. Scholarships are available. No one is denied because of inability to pay.
Enrollment is limited and groups are closed once they begin.
Support Group Facilitators Children and teens need a safe place to identify and share the difficult and confusing feelings associated with loss and grief. Confidential support groups led by compassionate professionals help the children learn healthy coping skills and promote the healing process. All facilitators are experienced with children and with group facilitation. M.P.H.
