blue and black text supporting Childrens Grief Awareness Month

Join the Willow Center in spreading awareness and education during the month of November with the 'Flip the Script for Children's Grief Awareness Month' campaign.

The first topic is to just BE PRESENT

This Children’s Grief Awareness Month let’s "Flip the Script" by valuing presence over words. Remember that sometimes, the best support we can offer a young person who is grieving doesn't come from the words we say but from simply being there.

Consider these:

• Sit quietly with them, letting the young person lead the way in silence Sit quietly with them, letting the young person lead the way in silence #FlipTheScript or sharing.

• Engage in activities they enjoy, showing you're there for support.

Your presence can be the comforting gesture that words sometimes cannot match. Let's show up with our undivided attention and care.

The Willow Center works to provide grief/bereavement support to children, teens and their caregivers FREE OF CHARGE throughout the L-C Valley and beyond, and as a non-profit, relies solely on community support.
