Rainbows grief support group for children

Embry Hills United Methodist is hosting the Rainbows 14 week child support group beginning September 9th from 6-7pm and is free. It has games, journals, and interactive elements for children. “Children need guidance and compassion to prevent a loss event from literally defining their lives through later destructive choices. In fact, research proves that unresolved grief leaves kids vulnerable to major at-risk behaviors. Since our founding in 1983, over 2.6 million children and teens throughout 50 United States and 17 other countries have been helped and supported by Rainbows programs." Children experience grief like adults but need their own time and space to process it. "Rainbows is the largest international children’s charity dedicated solely to helping youth successfully navigate the very difficult grief process. Every day, children are touched by emotional suffering caused by a death, divorce, deployment of a family member, incarceration of a loved one, or any of a multitude of significant event traumas including natural or manmade disasters. Call (704) 689-7166 or email susannahb@embryhillsumc.net today to register your child!
