Children’s Grief – Young Carers Program

A young carer is a child between the ages of 5-18 who is in a significant caregiving role, which can directly impact their physical and mental health, as well as their emotional and socio development. As young carers experience anticipatory grief for the loved one they are caring for. This program will help each young carer to find the language to identify and communicate their feelings about loss and provide support to process their grief. To help identify and communicate their grief, young carers will participate in 7 weekly 2 hour sessions for facilitated art-based activities designed to elicit conversations and feelings about grief.
