Den for Grieving Kids Now Offers Group for Spanish-Speaking
Adults
Continuing to meet the ever-changing needs of the community, The Den for
Grieving Kids has added a Spanish-language support group for the parents of
children coping with the death of a loved one.
Led by trained bilingual volunteer facilitators, the group allows adults
to speak openly about how the loss of a loved one has affected their lives and
the lives of their children. While
adults meet, their children will join other youngsters of similar ages in
groups to explore their own feelings in a safe and accepting atmosphere.
Meetings are held at 6:30 p.m. twice a month on Wednesdays at Family
Centers’ Greenwich offices at 40 Arch St. Dinner is provided and there is no fee for
this program.
“Creating a Spanish-language group for adults truly makes the services
of The Den accessible to everyone,” said Linda Weatherseed, coordinator of The
Den for Grieving Kids. “Too often, a
language barrier can prevent people from getting the help they need. With this group, we hope to create an
atmosphere where people can feel comfortable expressing their feelings in their
native language and get the support they need.”
Interested families should call Linda Weatherseed at 203-655-4693, to set up an intake appointment.
A program of Family Centers, The Den for Grieving Kids provides a safe, caring place for children,
teens and families to explore their feelings about the loss and begin the
journey toward healing. Biweekly
evening support groups meet at Family Centers’ Greenwich offices, and student
support groups are offered in several schools across Fairfield County.
