Children’s Grief Group Launches in January

After nearly four years without a children’s grief program in Alaska, the state is poised to get one.

Forget Me Not Grief Center of Alaska is opening next month. Starting in January 2022, Forget Me Not Grief Center will begin holding grief support groups for children ages 6 – 17. Adult groups will also take place.

These peer-driven support services are offered free of change and are geared toward children, teens, and families who are grieving the death of loved ones.

If you are interested in learning more, email forgetmenot.griefcenter@gmail.com or check out their website. Volunteers are needed. They complete 15 hours of training and commit to at least one year of service. This is approximately 3 1/2 hours, twice a month.
