Peer Support Groups
After a pizza dinner, children and teens, ages 3-18, meet with others close to their age while parents/guardians also meet. The Family Program offers a solid foundation to guide you and your family in navigating grief through connection and communication through expressive arts.
Twice-a-month meetings are offered at 5 locations from September-May. Anderson, Blue Ash, Bridgetown, Downtown and Liberty Township. Families can join at anytime.
Every Wednesday for 8 weeks in the fall & spring, a curriculum-based group will be offered at the Blue Ash location.
Register for our Family Program. Children must be registered by a parent or legal guardian. Once we receive your completed form, a member of the Fernside staff will contact you to discuss the next steps. We appreciate your trust in us and look forward to supporting your family.
Family Summer Art Series
Once a month during the summer (June-August), families come to Fernside’s Blue Ash office to create a family keepsake.
