Cork’s Place offers a safe and nurturing environment where children, teens and families who have experienced a death can share experiences, support one another and find comfort as they move through the difficult process of emotional healing.
Volunteers are needed to facilitate these grief support groups for children ages 3 – 17. Support groups meet every other week during the school year and average up to 8 hours monthly. Due to COVID restrictions, volunteers will be trained for virtual groups
This 25-hour experiential training is designed to give volunteer facilitators the tools needed to work with children and teens as they move through their own healing process. A 10-month commitment required.
