Hospice Alliance is pleased to offer Connections – Planting Seeds of Hope, a support group for children and their trusted adults. Groups, which start up again Thursday, October 17, are offered on the third Thursday of each month through the school year from 5 – 7:45 pm at Hospice Alliance, 10220 Prairie Ridge Blvd., Pleasant Prairie. Children ages two to eighteen are welcome, and each must be accompanied by an adult. The support group is open to all children and not limited to families with loved ones who received end-of-life care with Hospice Alliance.

“After seeing a gap in service in our community, we launched Connections four years ago,” said Rita Hagen, Hospice Alliance, Executive Director, “We follow the school calendar, offering the groups from October through May. We are excited to begin our third session in a few weeks after experiencing the program’s growth since its launch.”

The program is managed by Jennifer Sytkowski, Bereavement Coordinator, Hospice Alliance, and a team of trained volunteers who serve as facilitators and assistants. The curriculum and activities involved are developmentally appropriate as children are grouped by age.

“Children who have experienced the death of an important person sometimes want to be around others who have experienced something similar. We know that working through loss with the support of others can potentially teach resilience, empathy, creativity and perseverance. By honoring grief and integrating loss in healthy and meaningful ways, we can help support families. Connections is a powerful resource,” shared Jenny Sytkowski, Bereavement Coordinator.
