    Description

    Good Grief Club Facilitators (Children's Bereavement)

    Seeking facilitators for our Good Grief Club meetings! Good Grief Clubs offer peer support in a safe environment for children in grades K-12 to discuss their feelings about the death of a loved one. The support groups run for 7 weeks and help children explore feelings, develop healthy coping strategies, and find comfort and safety in learning that they are not alone. Good Grief Club facilitators complete both the Volunteer Training and Good Grief Club Training. The Good Grief Club Training is offered on two weekdays. When they are assigned to a school, they co-facilitate seven weekly sessions with the school counselor. Depending on the ages of the children, sessions range from 30 to 50 minutes. Volunteers must complete the three-day basic volunteer training and the additional Good Grief Club training. Volunteers must complete a background check.
