Grief Support for Children, Teens, Young Adults and their Families
School resources
School Support Groups
Jessica’s House staff and volunteers also provide weekly peer support groups on campus at schools throughout our service area. School groups meet for one hour during the school day. Staff and volunteers work with school personnel to ensure that they have the resources they need to provide an environment that is sensitive to the needs of grieving children.
