Free Peer-Based Support Groups For Children, Teens, And Their Families Experiencing Grief
Friends Way serves families throughout Southeastern New England following the death of a significant person in their lives. Staffed with highly qualified mental health care professionals and extensively trained community volunteers, we provide free peer support to children and their families in a safe and nurturing environment. We work closely with hospitals, schools, funeral homes, mental health agencies, pediatricians, and individuals serving children and families in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. We also offer referrals that can provide the appropriate level of care. Conducting more than 150 presentations and in-service training workshops about guiding children through their loss and grief, we have become a proven resource for Rhode Island agencies that seek bereavement services for their community members.
