Grief Counseling

We offer individual grief counseling at school to students who have experienced the death of a loved one. We typically meet with students for 30 minutes for 4-6 sessions (based on need). We need a private space free from interruptions. We prefer multiple appointments (two or more scheduled appointments, morning, or afternoon).



REQUIRED PAPERWORK COMPLETED BY THE LEGAL GUARDIAN:



•Application for grief services (one per family)

•Statement of understanding/SOU (one per family)

•Authorization/Release for us to speak to your school (one per child)

•Telehealth agreement (in case needed)
