Supporting Kidds, Inc. Supporting Kidds Inc. - The Center for Grieving Children and Their Families. (Hours by appointment)

Supporting Kidds Inc., The Center for Grieving Children and Their Families, provides:

Support groups for bereaved children ages 5 to 18 and their caregivers which focus on preventing long-term negative effects of unresolved grief on children. Through group discussion, artistic expression, movement activities, and journaling, participants learn positive coping tools and develop a sense of community. Caregivers learn about healthy grief and ways to support their grieving children. Individual, group and family psychotherapy services, as well as psychological assessment services, provide treatment under the supervision of a licensed psychologist. Group programs are also offered at schools for students experiencing grief and trauma, thereby averting school failure, substance abuse, depression, anxiety and other negative effects of loss. The Survival Kit for Families, a written manual about how children grieve and ways to support them in their grief, is available as a reference for families. The Survival Kit for Schools is provided to school guidance counselors, psychologists, nurses or other personnel to help them understand and support bereaved children and deal with loss in the school setting. Consultation and continuing education services are provided to professionals who work with grieving children, such as teachers, psychotherapists, day care providers, religious leaders, pediatricians, nurses, and school counselors. In addition, informal, supportive get-togethers are held for families, a lending library is available for all interested, educational programs are provided for the larger community, and information and referral services are offered to assist families in locating additional services and materials.

For more than 35 years, Supporting Kidds has walked alongside grieving children as they learn to trust their feelings, share their stories, and rediscover moments of joy.

As you consider your year-end giving, we invite you to support our belief that no child should grieve alone.

✨ FACT! ✨ Grieving can include feelings of anger.

Feeling angry after someone dies is a completely normal part of grief. Anger can be directed at the situation, the person who died, others, or even yourself. All feelings are valid in grief.
