When it comes to serious illness or grief, children have unique needs. Our Pathfinders program ensures that children are cared for and supported every step of the way.

Pediatric Hospice Care
It takes a special set of skills and resources to care for a seriously ill child - that’s why many hospices do not offer specialized care to children. We have a steadfast commitment to the kids in our community and believe that no child should suffer alone through the pain and emotional turmoil of terminal illness. Through our renowned program, we focus on the quality of life of our young patients and support and strengthen their families to help ease their burden.

Pathfinders Grief Support for Children, Teens and their Parents/Caregivers.
Through our Pathfinders program, we help children and their parents/ caregivers cope with the loss of a loved one. Families meet in age-appropriate groups (elementary, middle, high school and caregivers). This eight-week course is designed for the entire family, allowing each member the opportunity to work through and process individual grief concerns. Due to the nature of the Pathfinders program, advanced registration is required. A family assessment must also be completed and an appointment can be set at the time of registration. While there are no costs associated with this program, donations are very much appreciated. To register or for more information about this group, please email Grief Support.

Working with Children and Teens
Our Master's level therapists, trained in both anticipatory grief and bereavement, use art-making, talking and play as comfortable outlets for children and teens to express their feelings surrounding their loved one's illness and death. Our therapists also work with the parents and / or caregivers to gain an understanding of the family's beliefs, questions, and concerns about changes in the family and how to address them. The therapist will explain how children might respond to these changes based on the children's age and situation and offer suggestions and guidelines to help kids through these difficult situations.
