Journey of Hope Grief Support Center, a nonprofit organization founded in 1998, provides free peer grief support groups for children and families who have experienced the death of a loved one. Based in Plano and Frisco, our groups serve families across North Texas. In addition to these groups, we offer anticipatory grief support, parent consultations, and grief-related resources and workbooks. To extend our reach, we partner with 21 North Texas school districts, training school counselors to lead peer grief support groups on their campuses, ensuring support for children who may not be able to attend our groups directly. November is Children’s Grief Awareness Month—a time to recognize that 1 in 5 children will experience the death of a loved one before age 18 and the role we all play in supporting grieving children and their families.
Journey of Hope is currently at a pivotal moment. Due to the loss of a significant grant over the past two years, we need the support of mental health professionals and community sponsors to sustain and grow our essential services for grieving families. We invite you to sign up for our Hope Partners Program and view the perks of the partnership. There are also opportunities to sponsor a child for $50, a month of grief crafts for $200, all the materials and curriculum needed for one school to run a grief group for $500, or one month of support groups for $1500. Additionally, we encourage you to share Journey of Hope’s mission and connect us with other businesses and organizations whose values align with ours, inviting them to consider sponsorship. Together, we can continue to offer the critical, compassionate support families need to navigate their grief and ensure no child grieves alone.
Please consider becoming a collaborative partner with Journey of Hope by participating in Hope Partners Program!
You can also volunteer facilitating grief support groups, be a group night greeter, a group night meal provider, youth volunteer, or event volunteer. There are many ways of helping!
