BACK TO SCHOOL
With a new school year beginning, our thoughts turn to the well-being of the children in our community.
Experiencing a significant death during childhood often results in profound stress and adversity and, without appropriate support, can derail a child’s development.
Did you know that 1 in 14 children in the U.S
will experience the death of a parent or sibling by age 18*?
In addition to the emotional stress children experience because of the death, they are likely to deal with their pain alone. This is why our landmark School-Based Grief Support Program helps children and families by offering free grief support groups in their own schools across Los Angeles County.

Fund Our School-Based Grief Support Program
We provide a 10-week curriculum-based grief support program that creates a safe space for children to help carry the burden of grief and learn they are not alone. We need your help to ensure these vital services are available.
