Peer-based support for children, teens, and families who are grieving.

This is not your typical support group. These groups create a community for families who understand that healing does not always look like a quiet reflection. It looks different for everyone. We come together to rebuild and embrace life through connection and fun like laser tag, movie nights, and more. It is a chance to be with others who get it, share smiles and stories, and find strength in shared experiences - all while doing something a little different. Join us for laughter, support, and a reminder that even after loss, joy is still possible.
