Grief Resources for Children in Richmond

COMFORT ZONE CAMP

Comfort Zone offers free grief support groups for adults and children ages 5 and up. The groups contain 8 - 10 members, with children gathered by age. The groups meet one hour a week for eight weeks. The child and adult support groups are held at the same time, so that the family can focus on their individual grief simultaneously. Contact: supportgroups@comfortzonecamp.org.

FULL CIRCLE GRIEF CENTER

Full Circle offers grief support services at no cost for children and adolescents ages 3 to 18 as well as their parents and caregivers. Groups are available for children who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, caregiver, or other significant person. They offer "hands on healing" for grieving children and their families through counseling services, remembrance programs, and educational support. Contact Susie Nash, Family Services Coordinator at 804.241.9662.
