Common Ground Grief Center Information

We provide open-ended peer support groups for children ages 6-18 as well as a young adult support group for ages 19-30. We believe in supporting the family as a whole and therefore offer a concurrent adult support group which meets at the same time, for the caregiver of the child or teen who is participating in our program. Groups meet every other week in the evening. Our services are provided free of cost to participating families. Children and teens are assigned to groups according to age. All of our groups are facilitated by trained volunteers, who must complete a comprehensive training program to prepare them for the sensitive nature of our program. We also offer training sessions to local agencies, organizations, and schools in need of our expertise as well as educational materials about children and grief.
