Kate's Club Connects
A Kate’s Club community-based program that serves children and teens grieving the death of someone important to them through grief support, education, trainings and advocacy.
Grief education training is available for school counselors, educators, social workers, medical professionals, and other professionals who work with children and families.
Trainings are available in-person or virtually and can be customized to fit the needs of your staff and the time allotted. Past training topics have included recognizing and support grieving students, building resilience in bereaved children, complicated grief, and special considerations for suicide loss.

These closed support groups offer intentional activities over the course of six weeks to support students who have experienced the death of anyone close to them. Groups take place at the school and meet once per week during the school day.
In the group, we define grief as a normal reaction to loss, provide a safe environment to share feelings, and discuss positive coping skills. Activities will highlight the importance of knowing we are not alone in difficult feelings, telling our unique story, and sharing emotions in healthy and creative ways.
Kate’s Club currently provides groups for students in elementary, middle and high school.

This one-time program focuses on educating children and teens about grief and loss. Participants engage in an interactive activity that normalizes feelings of grief and teaches participants how to help those who are grieving. This 45-minute activity promotes SEL skills as it invites students to reflect and share about emotions, empathy, respecting others, and relationship building.
