Children experience grief too — from the loss of a loved one, divorce, moving, pet loss, and other life changes. Knowing how to support them can make all the difference.

📅 Dates:
• June 22 | 12 PM – 2 PM
• June 29 | 12 PM – 2 PM
• July 6 | 12 PM – 2 PM

In this program, participants will learn how to:
✔ Listen without judgment
✔ Support emotional expression
✔ Help children feel safe opening up
✔ Understand that every child grieves differently
