Grief Support for Children
These national organizations all support grieving children and have online databases listing grief support groups and bereavement camps. These are typically free, funded by donors. I’ve separately listed bereavement camps and grief support groups for parents.
The National Alliance for Children’s Grief, a professional member organization addressing issues about child bereavement, lists in their online database more than 450 support groups and camps for children in the United States and Canada. You can search their database by state.
The Dougy Center, a nonprofit that provides grief support to children and their families, has an online directory of more than 500 grief support centers and camps worldwide, which you can search by zip code.
Eluna is a national organization supporting children impacted by grief or addiction in their family and has a National Bereavement Resource Guide, an online directory of grief support organizations, programs and camps, searchable by location and types of support.
Also check your local hospice center to see if they have any support groups. If you are having trouble locating a support group near you, feel free to contact me and I’d be happy to look for one.
