Free Sesame Street DVD Available: When Families Grieve

 

When Families Grieve

 

The When Families Grieve program was developed to help children summon the strength to heal after the death of a parent.  While nothing can fully shelter a child from the impact of such a loss, When Families Grieve outreach materials have proven to provide some comfort. 

 Please stop by our office at 9493 N. Government Way to pick up a free copy of this wonderful DVD.
