| Our Belief |
| |
| Every child deserves the right to grieve and express their pain in a safe and supportive space. THE HEALING CENTER is such a place. |
| |
| Our Philosophy |
| Grief is a natural reaction to loss of a loved one for children as well as adults. |
| The duration and intensity of grief are unique for each individual. |
| Within each individual is the natural capacity to heal oneself. |
| Caring and acceptance assist in the healing process. |
| Mission Statement |
| To provide structured support groups for grieving children. To allow children to express their pain in a safe, consistent, supportive environment. |
| To help the children name the hard feelings they are coping with in a safe outlet. |
| To help eliminate the emotional and behavioral problems resulting from unaddressed childhood grief. |
| To support and enhance the lives of children at a critical time in their development. The death of a family member/significant person is a time of crisis for children; handled with acceptance, caring and support it can become a process of growth. |
