Get to Know the Dougy Center for Grieving Children, Heartbeat Episode 215

The Dougy Center for Grieving Children helps to meet the unique grief needs of children and teenagers.  Today we’re talking about all the resources the Center has to support parents, educators and communities as they care for grieving kids.  According to the Dougy Center website, the organization “provides support in a safe place where children, teens, young adults, and their families grieving a death can share their experiences. We provide support and training locally, nationally, and internationally to individuals and organizations seeking to assist children in grief. Through our Pathways program, we provide a safe place for families living with an advanced serious illness.”  During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Center’s bereavement and Pathways programs are continuing through virtual platforms.  There are tipsheets, podcasts, and videos available on the website at no charge - all great resources for counselors, bereavement, and psychosocial professionals.  You’ll find more support for end of life care and bereavement at theheartofhospice.com.  To book Helen or Jerry to speak at your agency or organization’s next event, email us at [email protected].  We’re happy to support your hospice journey - you are The Heart of Hospice.
