The children's support groups provide a unique opportunity for each child in the community to meet with other kids of similar ages, have fun, make friends, and share questions, concerns, and feelings. Children can realize they are not alone and that their feelings are similar to others. The adults also come to know they are not alone. All services are free. Groups will meet at a convenient location within Ontario, Seneca, Wayne and Yates counties, depending on need.
Most groups meet in local schools or other place familiar to children.
Perhaps you are a neighbor, friend, schoolteacher or involved community member who has observed the effects of illness and loss on children and families. We welcome adults from various backgrounds to train and serve as group facilitators. You will receive extensive training and weekly supervision for your work with the kids.
