Children's Grief Centers
Every child deserves the opportunity to grieve. Children often are thought to be too young to understand and cope with their grief. However, if given the proper support and understanding, children have a natural capacity to grieve and heal.

Hearts and Hooves
Through interaction with horses, the BeginAgain Children's Grief Centers use this one day camp to help children and teens who have experienced the loss of a loved one. The camp offers expression of grief through art and ground based horse activities. Campers will realize they are not alone in their grief and their feelings are normal. A healing family ritual is held at the end of the camp to remember loved ones. For more information please call 386.258.5100 or 386.822.4852.
