Children & Adolescent

Grief Support Groups

 

Children and adolescents who have lost a parent, sibling, loved one, or caregiver may attend these

weekly groups free of charge.

Group members join with others who are grieving to share support, encouragement and to

experience a decreased sense of isolation as they engage in the healing process.

Groups have been meeting weekly at The House Next Door since 1992.

Groups are designed to meet your child's unique grieving needs with

group sizes that accommodate individual attention.

 

Parents or caregivers call 404-256-9797 to schedule a grief consultation to register your child.

The consultation will provide more information about the groups.
