Journeys focuses on helping children heal after loss

Prince Frederick, MD – Calvert Hospice is offering a support group aimed at helping children and families heal after the loss of a loved one.

Called, Journeys, the group offers children the opportunity to connect with other kids who have experienced a similar loss.

Children will meet once a week for 8 weeks to participate in age-appropriate support groups. They’ll learn to process their grief through creative activities and learn healthy ways to grieve their loss.

Adult family members will also meet to learn how to help their children grieve in healthy ways while gaining valuable coping skills for dealing with their own grief.

The group will meet on Wednesdays from September 18 – November 6, 2019 from 6:00 – 7:30 pm at Trinity United Methodist Church in Prince Frederick.

The cost is $25 per child with a $75 maximum for families with multiple children. Scholarships are available, so please do not let a lack of funds prevent you from seeking support for your family’s grief.

Pre-registration is required. Applications can be downloaded at: http://calverthospice.org/childrens-programs
