Stepping Stones Grief Support Program
Because we love, we grieve. So, at Bridges of Hope, we recognize grief not as a problem to be solved, or as a process to be completed, but as a natural part of life to be acknowledged, explored and expressed. And we believe that every child deserves a safe space where they can connect with peers who “get it.” So we’ve created an evidence-based, kid-focused, multifaceted program called Stepping Stones. Stepping Stones empowers young people to connect, learn, share & grow through engaging activities including music, art, journaling, movement & mindfulness.
Area funeral homes may also offer additional grief support groups and resources.
Shannon’s Hope Camp
Shannon’s Hope Camp
The death of a loved one can often cause children to feel isolated from their friends so a grief camp can be a breathe of fresh air as they meet other young people who “get it. ”And we’ve been hosting camp since 1989, so we’ve worked hard to make sure it is both kid-friendly as well as parent-approved. We have a full schedule that offers just the right blend of workshops & free time. And they’ll have a chance to deal with the hard stuff and laugh with new friends. For lots more details and to see a glimpse of camp, check out the rest of this page & then sign-up.
Camp is relaxing, camp is fun, camp is meaningful, camp is free!
