SandCastles Grief Support Program

National Alliance for Children's Grief (NACG): This Children's Grief Awareness Month, "Flip the Script" by championing the voices of young people who are grieving. Give them the mic: ? Allow them to articulate their grief and share their personal experiences. ? Validate their feelings, experiences, and stories by providing a supportive listening environment. By empowering young people’s voices, we affirm their value and support them in their unique grief experience. Let’s ensure every child feels heard and supported.

Wishing everyone a happy, safe Thanksgiving with your loved ones! We're grateful for our SandCastles community, today and every day ?? #GriefSupport #MentalHealth #Family #GriefAwareness #HappyThanksgiving

National Alliance for Children's Grief (NACG): Join us in "Flipping the Script" this Children's Grief Awareness Month by acknowledging the individuality of each young person who is grieving. Embrace Individual Needs: ? Understand that each young person who is grieving has a unique relationship with the person who died. ? Avoid one-size-fits-all responses and offer support that aligns with their specific context, relationship, and personality. Meaningful support begins with recognizing each young person's uniqueness and listening to their cues about how they would like to be supported. #ChildrensGriefAwareness #FlipTheScript #CGAM2024 #childrengrieve
