Our services at Kyle's Korner
All grieving children, teens and their families can benefit from Kyle's Korner's peer grief support groups. Families are welcome to participate in support groups as long as they feel they are getting benefit from their attendance. Groups are ongoing and are led by specially trained community volunteer facilitators. Clinical program oversight is provided by the Program Director, who is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
To attend Kyle's Korner, families take the following steps:
1. Contact Kyle's Korner by phone.
2. Schedule an initial parent/caregiver orientation and tour.
3. If the parent/caregiver believes Kyle's Korner will benefit their family, a second orientation and tour is given to the entire family.
4. The family is then matched to the best peer support group available to them and the family commits to consistent attendance to the bi-weekly groups.
5. Kyle's Korner provides community resource referrals and information to families on an as-needed basis.
We ask the families to give us a two week notice when they decide that they are ready to leave Kyle's Korner, so that a farewell ceremony can be held.
