Children's Greif Support
Children and teens grieve differently than adults and benefit from specialized group and individual bereavement support. Support groups are particularly beneficial way for teens and children to develop awareness of feelings related to grief and to meet others their own age who are going through the same process. Expressive arts such as creative writing, movement, collage and painting are integrated into our services. Our Youth Bereavement Program is growing! Contact Sue Hobart at (650) 685-2806 or hobarts@sutterhealth.org to register for the services below or request other services for Bereaved Children and Teens.
