Originating during the COVID-19 pandemic, Family Friday has become an archived series designed to give parents and children fun, meaningful activities to do at home to explore feelings of grief and remember your loved one in unique ways. These family activities are designed to talk about feelings, coping strategies, and ways to remember your loved one.
Parents and their children are invited to find a cozy spot at home and join our clinical team members for Virtual Story Time. These books, read aloud by our Full Circle staff and therapists, are selected to help children explore the difficult emotions surrounding grief and loss and will encourage gentle conversations about the big feelings that can sometimes accompany loss.
