Henry Ford SandCastles

 SandCastles is hosting our 8-week Navigators Program in Allen Park Fall of 2024. This program is designed to equip families with the information, tools, and resources to navigate the grief journey as a family. Volunteers are utilized to help facilitate break out groups for children and teens ages 5-17. Group Facilitators work as a team to create a safe, supportive place for grieving children to heal.  Volunteers will complete a comprehensive grief training to prepare them for their role in the children and teen groups. Once trained, facilitators work in a team with other volunteers to lead SandCastles grief support groups in activities to help the youth in our program learn healthy ways to express their emotions, memorialize the person/people who died in their lives, and normalize the grief experience with peers who understand. Join us to help grieving children share, learn, and cope as they travel their grief journey!
