Coping with Grief in the Family

Please join us at the Cancer Wellness Center for a joint CWC and Willow House family event aimed at helping children and families cope with grief. In this program, children will join a Child Life Specialist and a Professional Counselor for grief focused art activity. Parents will join a grief-focused Professional Counselor and have an opportunity to explore what grief is, effects that grief has on children, teens and families, both long-term and short-term, and how to include children during the end of a loved one’s life.

Presented by: Lauren Raney, LCPC, ATR, Program Director at Willow House; Kelsey Hoeper-Albassam, LPC, NCC, CT, Clinical School & Community Program Coordinator at Willow House; Elyssa Siegel, CCLS, Cancer Wellness Center
