Program areas at Good Grief
Good Grief builds resilience in children, strengthens families, and empowers communities to grow from loss and adversity. Our vision of ensuring accessibility to our programs is substantiated by our robust educational and programmatic goals, which promote resilience and decrease risk factors associated with grief and childhood bereavement. The mission is achieved through peer support programs in our Family Support Centers, school-based programming through Good Grief Schools, and our Grief Expressions Summer Camp. Good Grief serves more than 180 communities and 1100 participants each month. Good Grief relies on over 200 specially-trained volunteers to deliver our services to children and their families. These volunteers donated more than 14,000 hours in 2023, with an estimated value of $1,406,600.
