VON Middlesex-Elgin will be holding a Children’s Bereavement Program in Elgin County in October. The 8 week program beginning on Wednesday, October 2nd will go through the various aspects of lost that are experienced, through activities and exercises. The “VON Kids’ Circle” program for children ages 5 to 11 years old, aims at helping children understand their grief and the depth of the emotions that they feel when they experience a loss in their life.
Supportive Care Coordinator with VON Middlesex-Elgin Becky Ahrens says that in previous programs, they found that children just simply relating to their peers helped a lot.
Ahrens says that the program is run at no cost to the families, however registration is required. To inquire more about the program or to register your child, you are being asked to contact Becky Ahrens by calling 519-637-6408 ext 222 or sending an email to becky.ahrens@von.ca.
