– Communities need to have capacity to support grieving children and youth: education and access to education, tools and services

– Every child is unique and their response to death is individual

– Accurate language is especially important in talking to young people about grief and death

OUR MISSION

To advocate for educational opportunities and support services that will benefit children and youth who are grieving the dying or the death of someone they care about.
