Our Grief Program

Overview

New Hope for Kids provides grief support to children ages 3-18 and their families after the death of a loved one. Group activities help grieving children process their emotions and learn healthy ways to express the complex feelings that come with grief. In our adult support group, parents and caregivers find compassion, guidance, and a safe place to share their experiences and emotions.

Group Offerings

We offer both in-person and virtual support groups to accommodate different needs:

In-Person Groups: Limited capacity sessions held every other Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM.


Virtual Groups: Held via Zoom every other Wednesday from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM.

Virtual Grief Support Groups provide a safe and supportive space for children ages 3-18 who have experienced a death. These sessions allow children to join from the comfort of their homes or while on the go. Using Zoom, kids are welcomed into our online family to do activities that help process their experiences and feelings while interacting with peers and our trained grief facilitators. Parents and caretakers are encouraged to join our simultaneous Adult Support Group, led by an adult support counselor in a separate breakout room.
