Grief Support Groups Available for SDUSD Students and Families

Children and teens who are struggling with feelings of grief and loss after the death of a significant person in their life are invited to join the Grief Support Groups at the Children's Bereavement Center in Mission Valley. There is no cost to participate.

Sessions are ninety minutes and are facilitated by trained childhood bereavement professionals from The Elizabeth Hospice. These are held bimonthly throughout the school year. Children learn about grief and loss, develop coping skills, share their grief story, and connect with others who are facing similar circumstances. 

Parents and guardians meet in a separate group that runs concurrent with the children's group. For more information or to apply, visit this website or contact The Elizabeth Hospice at grievingchildren@ehospice.org or 760.796.3705.
