| The Avow Kids® program, designed for children ages 5-17, provides support and companionship to children who are grieving.
The reason might be the loss of a parent, sibling, friend, or relative through illness, accident, deportation, suicide, or homicide. Additionally, Avow helps children process and heal from other types of loss, including divorce, the loss of a friend, instability in the foster care system, and deployed parents and family members. Avow Kids groups and activities are open to children everywhere. We hold in-person sessions, workshops and camps in Southwest Florida and online groups open to children and teens worldwide. We have supported children through loss since our founding in 1983, delivering care with a team of professionals experienced children’s loss. There is never a cost for care. |
Camp ZOE is a free grief camp for children ages 5 – 17. We offer camp in different locations, utilizing support from the community to address the resources needed for camp (funds, venue, etc). We aim to serve children in under-resourced areas where they usually would not be able to travel to a camp, so we come to them.
