The Kids Who Kare program is an age appropriate support group that allows children to move past the isolation felt after a loss by connecting with other kids who are experiencing similar struggles.   The groups help children process their losses and the accompanying emotions.  Our trained staff and volunteers support the children as they use art, activity, and story telling to work through the emotions evoked by their loss.  Past projects have included activities focused on how to understand feelings of anger, sadness, and worry and sharing favorite memories of loved ones.

The Children’s program  covers kids ranging from 5-12, for 13 and above please see the Teen’s program.

Sessions are held the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month from 6:30pm to 8:00pm at the Christi Center (View Map).  The parents/guardians  meet at the same time in a separate room.

In addition we have quarterly outings for the children and their families and an all day retreat at Charlie’s Place on Lake Buchanan in the summer.  Our quarterly outings have included visiting a miniature horse farm, creating and then flying kites, and going to Amy’s Ice Cream!

Please see our calendar for up to date scheduling information.
