In one, adults learn about the grieving process children experience, and in the other, children are provided with the opportunity to express their feelings of grief and loss through an art medium. The Teen Retreat is for 15 to 19 year olds who are experiencing grief from the death of a loved one. Sports, games, music, art and group discussions will provide a means for teens to express their feelings and relate to others their same age. Group leaders, volunteers, and student interns will be present during the duration of the overnight retreat. A Holiday Workshop is offered to people who feel they need some extra support in preparing for and coping with the holidays.
Holidays can be very emotional and overwhelming when one is experiencing grief.
The workshop provides helpful information and suggestions to help in planning for these significant days. Community Education Hopice of Baltimore's Bereavement Care Services are available to the community.
