Imagine supports children and families coping with loss and fosters resiliency and emotional well-being for all those who grieve. We do this by providing education and free year-round peer grief support for children age 3-18 and young adults 18-30 who are coping with loss due to the death of a parent or sibling or who have a family member living with a life-altering physical illness. Concurrent support groups are available for parents and guardians in both programs.
