The CIRCLE
 Our
mission is to provide families with bereavement support in a safe
place where they may find individual expression for their loss and
develop competence in managing their grief in ways that promote
resiliency and self-esteem. The CIRCLE provides direct bereavement
support for children and parents or guardians. The program encourages
remembering and sharing through creative outlets such as writing,
playing, singing, and creating art. The CIRCLE is offered two Monday
evenings a month throughout the school year, from 6 to 8:00 pm.
The program includes children ages 5 to 13, with an accompanying
adult in each family group. The curriculum follows the four stages
of mourning as developed by Dr. Sandra Fox, founder of the Good
Grief Program. Pizza dinner is served.
Currently, there are three CIRCLE programs offered
to the Greater Boston community:
The South Shore
