Since 2000, Pillars Community Health’s Buddy’s Place childhood bereavement program has offered family-based support groups to children and teens ages 4-18 and their families who are grieving the death of someone significant in their lives. We are committed to providing a safe, accepting, and supportive environment where each family can come and express their grief and connect with others in a group setting. There is no charge to attend the programs offered by Buddy’s Place. Click here to register for Buddy’s Place.
The 8 Week Session is a family-based bereavement support group that provides support and grief education. This spring we will meet on 8 consecutive Tuesday evenings -March 16, 23, 30, April 6, 13, 20, 27, May 4.
