Alignment of Professional Values

Our goal is to create a regional conversation on children's grief in Spokane, WA and the surrounding areas. We don't see grief as a mental illness or a disorder that needs to be overcome as quickly as possible. Instead, we want to come alongside families at vulnerable times of their lives, and determine which types of therapy or parenting information that could help children to weather the storm of grief with more resilience. We believe that in order for children to cope with the loss of a loved one, they need:

  1. To know that the person died, and what death means in an age-appropriate way

  2. The freedom and encouragement to keep the person who died an open topic, in order to share memories and/or resolve traumas

  3. Grief education to validate the wide experience of grief (i.e., it's more than just sad.)

  4. Treatment for any traumatic aspect of the loss, so the child can mourn

  5. Support in finding ways to express their grief with others, be it verbally/socially, or through play or art.
