At Friends of Aine, our mission is to help children and families grieving a death navigate their path to a hopeful future. Guided by our SEA of Hope frame, we suport, educate, and advocate. We host peer-to-peer support groups for grieving children and their families at our Center, and provide educational resources to schools so that staff have the resources to speak about grief with their students. Friends of Aine advocates for recognition of child bereavement as a mental health crisis. All of our services are free to families, thanks to the generousity of our compassionate communities. Through activity-based discussion, childen learn how to express their complex grief emotions as well as coping strategies they can take with them anywhere they go.Together, we will ensure that no child grieves alone.
