Camp HOPE for Kids October 8-9, 2022
Camp HOPE for Kids
October 8-9, 2022 

Camp HOPE is a Wisconsin-based free weekend bereavement camp, open to grieving youth ages 5-18. 
Adult family members are welcome to join our adult camp, which is hosted at the same time as the youth camp. Registration for Camp HOPE this fall (October 8-9th) is now open! There is no cost to attend.

Through playing, sharing, and being together in a camp setting with peers and staff who know the pain, the children and teenagers realize that the emotions they feel are a normal part of grief.

What is happening to them happens to others everywhere, and at Camp HOPE, their pain is understood and shared.

Campers will be captivated by the picturesque setting of the campsite, which

features individual cabins, dining, and shower facilities. 

Each camper will be housed in small groups of similar-aged campers with three or more volunteer
counselors. The camp is a 400-acre wildlife refuge with a 45-acre private lake that provides each
camper with ample opportunity to enjoy nature. 

The Wisconsin Lions Camp is within easy driving distance from all parts of the state.
Camp HOPE 
rents the Wisconsin Lions Camp (3834 County Road A, Rosholt, WI) in central Wisconsin,
two miles 
east of Rosholt and sixteen miles northeast of Stevens Point.

Coping After Suicide's Virtual Summer Grief Camp 2022

Coping After Suicide's Virtual Summer Grief Camp
Coping After Suicide's Virtual Summer Grief Camp 
Coping After Suicide's Virtual Summer Grief "Camp" is for kids ages 6-12 who've lost a parent, sibling, or other loved one to suicide. It's not a therapy group - it's a professionally facilitated, activity-based peer support group that meets on Zoom. “Camp” will be facilitated by Joan Hoff, former longtime program director for the Dougy National Center for Grieving Children and Families, who’s been facilitating grief support groups for kids for 30 years.
Joan will lead the kids in activities and discussions to help them:
- explore their thoughts and feelings around the suicide of their person 
- learn ways to manage their grief reactions
- connect with other kids who are going through a similar experience
Kids can participate independently (they just ask that a trusted adult be nearby in case of technical or
​emotional challenges). There are two sessions, and each session consists of four 60-minute Zoom meetings. 
The two sessions will cover different topics, so kids can register for either or both:

June Session: Your Grief Journey: June 27, 28, 29, and 30 from 2-3 pm Eastern
​July Session: Your Emotional Ride: July 25, 26, 27, and 28 from 2-3 pm Eastern 
The registration fee is $150 per child/per session. (Not an affiliate)
Spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Mother's Day reminds some people of losses they don't often speak of, like death, separation, divorce,
​infertility, illness, unfulfilled longing, disability, estrangement, neglect, rejection, abuse, and abandonment.

If this day is difficult for you, for any reason, be extra kind and soft with yourself. Sending lots of love
and wishes for a gentler Mother's Day than expected to all feeling tender from loss.

Ambiguous Loss & How to Help Children Cope with Uncertainty
Monday, February 7th, 2022 from 6:30 pm- 8:00 PM EST

Do you know or work with children who:
 - Are in foster care or being raised by grandparents?
- Are separated from their parents for long periods of time?
- Have parents with substance abuse? 
- Were unable to attend a funeral or grieving ritual for a loved one?
- Have a caregiver or loved one who is missing?
 
These are just a few common examples of ambiguous loss, which is defined as a loss with unclear boundaries. This lack of closure and rituals around the complicated experience of ambiguous loss can exacerbate behavioral health challenges for children. Please join this webinar to learn how ambiguous loss impacts children and what adults can do to help them manage their constant questioning and uncertainty. It is hosted by Deborah Willett and
​the Coatesville Center for Community Health. The webinar will include a mental health presentation with psychotherapist, author, and childhood trauma consultant, Beth Tyson.
Time will be reserved at the end for a Q&A.

 The Kentucky Center for Grieving Children and Families
 The Kentucky Center for Grieving Children and Families, Inc. just launched in the fall of 2021 and provides
its community grief services free of charge. Through donations and community support they provide activities
and programs that support Kentucky families as they grieve and heal. KCGCF offers student grief support groups and family/caregiver education and support for youth and families in the following schools in Fayette County, Kentucky. If you are interested ​in having your child join a grief support group, please contact the school’s
Family Resource and Youth Services Center or email kychildrengrieve@gmail.com. 

The KCGCF also works with grieving families to provide community referrals for additional services and
supports, including individual therapy and therapeutic recreation opportunities. The KCGCF offers expert
training in youth bereavement (its hallmarks, trauma-informed strategies for supporting grieving children,
how to support grieving families and encourage resilient parenting). Presentations and training can be
arranged for schools, churches, social service agencies, workplaces, and community groups. In 2022, they
hope to launch free, community-based grief support groups for children and youth ages 4-18, organized by children’s ages. Talk time will be combined with play and other types of creative healing experiences (such
as art, writing, or music). Concurrent parent and caregiver groups will help caregivers understand youth bereavement and offer parenting techniques to strengthen the family as they heal and move forward.

this significant passage. This webinar will describe the issues unique to grieving young
adults and explore ways of supporting young adults during times of grief, including
​the importance of connecting them with supportive peers.
