used to help facilitate their grieving process such as education on grief, team-building activities, telling their story, dealing with feelings and memories and the use of expressive therapies
(i.e., art, music, poetry etc.). This group is offered to any child between the ages of 5 to 12 years old who have experienced the death of someone significant in their life. Parents will also

violence, interpersonal violence and or/out of home placement. The Healing Together Program offers a safe and nurturing environment where children with similar experiences are brought
together for an opportunity to feel less isolated, become educated on the impacts and dynamics of trauma, strengthen self esteem, foster a sense of belonging and hope during a time of
crisis, and address distorted belief systems that may exist. Group will meet each Wednesday with a new session beginning in October.

constructively address custody issues and enhance co-parenting, where it is safe to do so. Group meets on Thursdays with new sessions beginning in September and November.
