Healing Hearts School Group
Healing Hearts Group is our in school grief support program offered to all children attending schools in Lauderdale, Colbert, and Franklin counties that we serve. Healing Hearts Group meets once per month and explores emotions, experiences, and responses surrounding grief in a safe environment with children that are already familiar with each other from school. Healing Hearts group is coordinated by a Healing Place counselor and your child's school counselor. Healing Hearts meets at the discretion of the Healing Place and the school administration.
Mission
The goal of Healing Hearts group is to allow children a safe space to explore emotions and experiences surrounding grief. Healing Hearts offers participants a different experience from typical support groups due to the ease of access and the ability to meet with other children that they know and feel comfortable with. Healing Hearts participants will explore how our emotions are impacted by grief, how we connect and relate to others following a loss, how to navigate important dates, milestones, and holidays after a loss, and so much more.
