Kids helping kids (6-13)

Older children 6 to 13 years old are grouped together. The older children's group  participate in various age appropriate 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.

 The Solace Tree is that safe place. Kids have the place, and parents have the support. "My dad" was also someone's husband. "My brother" was someone's son. "My grandma" was someone's mom. Solace. You'll find it here.

• Do an act of kindness in their memory.
• Listen to their favorite song.
• Start a new family tradition that honors the person who died.
