Supporting Children Through Grief

Within Alberta's Tri-Region, there are currently insufficient groups and resources available to families. The project is to offer 3 grief groups for children and youth between the ages of 8 and 16 years of age, plus 1 group for parents, caregivers, and guardians. Each group for the children and youth will be 7 weeks long with the adult group being 4 weeks. The goal is to support each participant to build skills in areas where they are the least supported in terms of grief. We will build capacity for children, youth and caregivers by strengthening their connections within their families and the community around them.
