Family Night Peer Support Group
COVID-19 Updates: The Center for Grieving Children provides support through our Family Night Peer Support Groups to youth and caregivers who are grieving the loss of loved ones. Meeting in separate groups, youth meet with peers and caregivers meet with other adults.
Center staff and trained volunteers lead participants in discussions and activities that support the sharing of feelings, life experiences and memories. The groups end with a brief candlelight commemorative ceremony.
While we are practicing Safer-At-Home guidelines, the Center for Grieving Children is committed to continuing support for our community. Our staff is working remotely and providing virtual Family Night Peer Support Groups every week. Please see the schedule below for our weekly virtual meetings. We plan to provide in-person support once it is safe to do so.

*For the summer months, we are providing a month-to-month schedule as we adapt to the ever-changing landscape of what will be safe to offer for our Center families during the pandemic. Schedule is subject to change. An email will be sent out to CGC families to inform them of any changes to original schedule.
If you, your youth and/or family would benefit from participating, we welcome and encourage you to join us! A one-time virtual orientation with the Center Director Erin Hollister is the only requirement to participate. To schedule a virtual orientation, please contact Erin at ehollister@bgclubfoxvalley.org or (920) 750-5839.
