As the new school year begins, Christi Center offers specialized grief resources to support children, teens, parents, and educators navigating loss during this transitional time. Back-to-school can trigger fresh waves of grief, whether from the absence of a loved one at milestone moments, changes in routine, or the challenge of focusing in class while carrying emotional weight.
Our free, peer-based support groups for youth and adults, one-on-one check-ins, and guidance for school counselors provide a safe space to share, connect, and build coping skills. We also offer age-appropriate activities and resources that help students honor their loved ones while fostering resilience, ensuring that no child or family faces the school year alone in their grief journey.
