What Our Families Are Saying
Teenagers 14 to 18 are grouped together. The teen groups get a chance to talk to each other and participate in various activities for 75 minutes every three weeks.
All groups are facilitated by trained volunteers who are coordinated by the Executive Director of The Solace Tree.
The Solace Tree refers children and teens to therapists and counselors who specialize in grief and loss, if needed.
