SAFE Coalition is offering free grief support groups for children and teens this summer in Franklin — a safe, welcoming space for young people to process loss at their own pace through art, play, and connection with peers who understand.
Four groups meet back-to-back on the same evening, divided by age and type of loss:
3:00–3:40 p.m. | Teen Bereavement (ages 14–18) — for teens who have lost someone to death
3:45–4:25 p.m. | Teen Grief & Loss (ages 14–18) — for teens navigating any significant loss
4:30–5:10 p.m. | Children's Bereavement (ages 6–13) — for kids who have lost someone to death
5:15–6:00 p.m. | Children's Grief & Loss (ages 6–13) — for kids navigating any significant loss
Significant losses include divorce, a parent's illness or addiction, major life changes, and more.
No therapy experience needed, no pressure to participate, and no need to start from the beginning — groups are open enrollment and children and teens can join any session.

Dates: June 17, July 1, July 15, July 29, August 12, August 26
