Death is a common but difficult experience in a child’s life. The Compass program offers help to children and teens who are coping with the recent death of a loved one or the anticipated loss of someone close to them due to a terminal illness.
Compass provides education about children’s grief processes and experiences while offering support through individual and group counseling sessions, workshops, and other events. Through the Compass program, children learn about grief and develop strategies that help them work through the process. Our grief coordinators will also work with parents and other caregivers to help them build confidence in supporting children during this difficult time. Because Compass serves children and teens, a parent or legal guardian starts the process by connecting with one of our grief coordinators. From there, we partner with your family to find the right support, whether that’s individual counseling, a group, or a Compass Meet-Up.
All grieving children and adolescents anywhere in the 14 counties we serve are welcome to attend a grief support group after initial contact with one of our grief coordinators, regardless of their connection to hospice or ability to pay.
Contact us at Compass@FourSeasonsCFL.org or 828.692.6178 and ask to speak with a Compass staff member.
Individual Counseling
We provide individual child and adolescent grief support in various settings including, but not limited to, our offices, schools, and virtually. We work closely with local school systems, community outreach centers, and therapists to provide grief-specific care to children and teens dealing with the death of a person.
