School Grief Group Parent

"Today my kiddos started an amazing grief group at school through Kate’s Club. They are looking forward to learning how to deal with this great loss and keep [their friend’s] memory alive. We are so grateful that our school has this amazing support."

School Counselor

"The opportunity to participate in grief counseling is dependent on so many factors; access to insurance, transportation and time. Having Kate’s Club at our school provides a critical service that our students may not otherwise be able to access. They have made a huge difference in the personal and academic growth of our students."

School Counselor

"Kate’s Club has been a wonderful, healing experience for the students. It provides them an opportunity to talk about their feelings, have a sense of community, and feel supported by peers with common experiences."
