Our school participates in the Growing through Grief program provided by Park Nicollet grief counselors. I have provided a description of the program below. If your child is interested in participating this year, please give your child's counselor a call and we will be sure to forward your name to the program facilitator.

Growing through Grief: A School Support Program

The grief support program works within the school setting. The program is for students and staff who have experienced and/or anticipate the death of a loved one. The program is in partnership with Park Nicollet Foundation/Methodist Hospice and the school district. The program allows the school district the opportunity to utilize grief counselors to facilitate grief groups and/or meet individually with students in need of support. The grief counselors are also available to do in-service presentations on child/teenage grief.

Compassion Books

Your source for more than 400 books, videos, and audios to help children and adults through serious illness, death and dying, grief, bereavement, and losses of all kinds, including divorce, suicide, trauma, sudden loss, and violence. All our resources are reviewed and selected by knowledgeable professionals.
