We call our place of belonging a club.

Good Grief! What’s For Dinner?
We’re excited to announce the upcoming release of Good Grief! What’s for Dinner? a cookbook from the heart featuring 200 comforting recipes shared by our community members who have navigated the journey of grief.
As we move through Children’s Grief Awareness Month we share the thoughts of another one of our compassionate therapists, Emily. Thanks for reminding us how crucial it is for children and teens to feel their grief is seen and heard.
Active, uninterrupted listening provides a comforting presence, focused on understanding rather than responding.
Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.
