The Heartsteps Project

“With feeling hearts, healing starts” This project focuses on improving grief literacy among children, adolescents, and their supporters, empowering community members of all ages to better navigate experiences of dying, death, and loss. Through a three-pronged approach, the initiative meets individuals where they are in their grief or support journeys. The program includes educational workshops and creative activities rooted in guided discussions, representational and digital storytelling, and expressive arts. Drawing from proven methods, these offerings provide practical tools and skills to help participants process grief and build resilience for both current and future challenges.
