Good Grief

2027 Winter Session | Mondays 5:30–7 pm
January 25 – March 8
No Meeting on February 15

Supporting Kids through loss and transition.
This six-week program is offered twice a year to help support kids (kindergarten through high school) through family loss and transition with age-appropriate conversations in a safe, confidential setting. Includes optional parent/guardian support group for those interested. Good Grief is offered at no cost, is not faith–based, and is open to the community.
From our participants:
“It really is hard to express how precious Good Grief is to us. It has helped us all individually, but also to grieve as a family together. We have a lot of tools now to talk through things and give space for our feelings, emotions and grief.”
–Good Grief Parent
“A few of the most important things I have learned in Good Grief is that it is okay to feel what I feel, and how to take care of my feelings.” –7th Grade Participant
