Grief Informed Schools
Mission: To empower and equip those who care for and educate children and teens with the skills to support and nurture them through grief and challenging times.
Training for Educators
Our comprehensive grief-informed training equips New Jersey teachers and counselors with tools to recognize grief and practice healthy grief strategies in the classroom. Each session ensures educators are better prepared to support students who have experienced trauma, homelessness, or loss.
Support for Caregivers
Our program extends beyond educators to include parents and caregivers. We provide them with essential resources and guidance to help children and teens navigate grief after the loss of a loved one or other traumatic experiences.
