“Dealing with the wide range of emotions following the death of a family member or other loved one is difficult for everyone including children, who may grieve differently than adults,” explains New Hope Executive Director Karen Laing.  “Activities like camp, which allow children to remember their loved ones, share their stories and understand they are not alone in a safe, supportive environment, are important for healing.”

New Hope Center for Grief Support also offers ongoing support groups for children and adults as well as grief workshops and seminars for adults.
