We offer specialized support groups specifically designed for children to help them navigate the complex emotions of loss. These sessions are led by our Bereavement Coordinator and are part of a comprehensive set of grief services available to families in Ohio and Indiana.
Key features of these support groups include:
- Multiple Formats: Support groups meet weekly or biweekly and are available both in person and virtually to accommodate your family’s schedule.
- Safe Environment: All discussions within the groups are strictly confidential, and participation is always a voluntary personal choice.
- Peer Connection: The groups allow children to connect with others who are experiencing similar pain, helping to reduce isolation and foster hope.
- Integrated Care: Our coordinators work alongside nurses, social workers, and chaplains to ensure the emotional and spiritual aspects of a child’s loss are addressed together.
These services are part of the hospice benefit and are available to immediate family members at no extra cost for at least 13 months following a loss. If you are interested in upcoming sessions for a child, you can reach out to our team by phone or through our website.
