HHHC's bereavement team developed the Good Grief Program in 1988. The program is for any child aged 4 -13 who is grieving the loss of a loved one. The children are encouraged to express their feelings through art projects, writing exercises, group discussions, puppet play, and other age-appropriate activities.
The program offers bereaved children an opportunity to develop coping skills in a safe and trusting environment with other children who are experiencing similar losses. Groups are facilitated by trained volunteers; children are grouped according to age.
