This is a ten week program offering professional guidance and support for children as they journey through grief. It’s designed to help young people come to terms with their feelings and reestablish some equilibrium in their lives. It will be a safe place to share feelings and remember the one who has died without becoming overwhelmed with pain-a time to learn and grow. Each group is limited to 8 children, ages 7 to 10 years old, and meets in 10 weekly sessions.
To Register: If you know a child who could benefit from this program, contact Kathy McQuillan at 218-749-7979 no later than March 3 to schedule a registration interview. Interviews will take place Tuesday, March 10th and Wednesday, March 11th.
