We offer an 8-week support group for children and teens in Virginia grieving the death of a loved one by suicide. Share your story of loss, connect with others, explore your feelings, develop coping strategies, and discover new ways to remember your loved one. Facilitated by experienced professionals, weekly sessions include group discussion and support, creative expression and resource sharing. All grief support groups are offered free, at no cost to participants.
Organizational Update: Children & Teens Suicide Loss Group
After careful consideration, we are pausing our Suicide Loss Group for Children & Teens programming for the immediate future. With help from our program managers, we will be re-evaluating the delivery of this group and how to make it accessible and engaging for the youth and teens we serve.
Updates on the future of this group will be forthcoming soon.
