Schneider Children's Hospital is committed
to families during the difficult and painful time after the loss of a
loved one. The Center for HOPE (Healing, Opportunity, Perseverance, Enlightenment)
offers programs intended to meet the needs of the entire family:
Groups
for children ages 4-18 who
have experienced the death of a parent or sibling.
These children meet in developmentally age appropriate groups while their
parent or guardian meets in an adult group at the same time. All the groups
talk about the same theme during this time, thereby enhancing communication
between family members in their time of grief and loss. These groups meet
throughout the year from September through June and families can enter
the groups at any point in time.
Groups for Parents who have experienced the death
of a child.
Eight week close ended groups are offered several times a year to help
parents cope with the devastating loss of a child.
Groups for Parents
who have had Perinatal Losses
Eight week close ended groups are offered for parents experiencing perinatal
losses or stillbirths
