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.
