All programs are 100% free of charge to participants and their families.

A family can call and start the process for participation as soon as they are ready. Every family and every individual grieve differently. However, the Bereavement Needs Assessment is not administered until at least 2 months after the death. We recognize this and meet families when and where they are ready.

After submitting an application for each eligible child, you will be contacted to schedule a guardian phone interview. Children ages 8 and up will need to complete a Bereavement Needs Assessment with a staff member. The final step is to attend a Family Orientation to learn all about Kate’s Club.

Family Orientation is a group orientation for families joining Kate’s Club. This is a time for you and your family to learn more about programs offered and get comfortable with Kate’s Club before attending one of our programs. You will be joined by other new Kate's Club families who will also be going through the orientation. It is also an opportunity for us to get to know you and your child better. For new members outside Atlanta who want to attend virtual programs, we hold separate virtual orientations for guardians and children a week a part.

Kate’s Club does not provide individual therapy or counseling. We will be happy to provide referrals to vetted therapists in the community who specialize in grief and work with children and families.

New experiences can be scary for younger children. Below is a short video to introduce your child to Kate’s Club. This video may help your child become more familiar with Kate's Club and what we do. 

We believe in the uniqueness of the intensity and duration of grief for each individual and family. Children/teens choose when to start and when to stop attending. We serve children ages 5-18.

No. We accept applications on an ongoing basis and begin the membership process as soon as possible. We occasionally have a waiting list for specific programs.

Kate’s Club programs are held in-person and virtually. In-person programs are held at our clubhouse in Atlanta, GA and at our program in Newnan, GA. There is also a virtual option once per month. All members regardless of location are welcome to attend virtual programs. To find in-person programs outside Atlanta, please visit www.childrengrieve.org.

We also provide school and community-based support through our outreach program, KC Connects.
