A children and teen support group is for children age four through 18 who are dealing with the death of a parent or sibling. The group meets twice monthly. There is a concurrent parents’ group available.

The grandchildren bereavement support group is a six-session series on “Expressing and Coping with Grief” for children age six to 11 who have experienced the death of a grandparent. The group starts on January 22.

A support group for children whose parent has cancer is a six-session series designed to help children ages six to 12. The sessions begin January 22.

A bereavement support group for parents who have had an adult child die will start at a date yet to be determined. The sessions are designed to help individuals better understand and cope with the thoughts and feelings that accompany a significant loss.

The teen group is for teenagers whose parent has a life-threatening illness. It will begin this month.

All sessions are free of charge, although donations are appreciated. Pre-registration is required. All sessions are held at Regional Hospice, 30 West Street. For more information or to register call 797-1685, ext 33.
