Services

Participating in programs following a death can be a difficult decision to make but connecting with other individuals and families who have experienced a similar loss may be worth trying. We are probably most well known for our peer support group program, but we have expanded our services to include grief groups in schools, crisis support, outreach and education, camp programs and much more. We provide these services at no cost. To learn more about our services and/or to register for a Fernside support group, contact us at the office.

Featured Service

School Program

Fernside provides time-limited grief support groups for students who have experienced a death. Fernside staff members meet with students once a week for six weeks, following a curriculum designed to cover themes that are key for youth who have experienced a death. The themes include: Feelings
Changes at Home & School
Dreams, Nightmares, and Worries
Family & Friends
Memories

School groups are scheduled throughout the year and we work directly with a contact at the school to determine what would best meet the needs of the students. Fernside staff members facilitate the groups and we supply the necessary materials.
