Stepping Stones for Children

This program for children ages 6-15 offers a combination of education, arts, activities and support to help children

facilitate healthy grieving. Led by specially educated counseling staff and volunteers, children benefit by learning age-appropriate concepts about death and dealing with grief.

It offers the opportunity to express feelings in a safe and constructive environment where children are surrounded by other children who understand what they are going through.

Parents/caregivers can also benefit from this program by learning grief management tools to help support the child and have the opportunity to interact with other parents/caregivers of bereaved children.
