Today our club heard from Penny Schumacher, Development Director of The Grief Club of Minnesota.  This organization was founded in 2020 and its mission is to provide a place where grieving children, teens, and their families find connections, share their experiences, and heal.  The 2 co-founders themselves, experienced deaths of significant family members as children.  They took their combined 45 years of experience in grief & mental health crisis to form this Club to offer help at no cost to participants and accepting no insurance.

It was shocking to learn that 1 in 12 children in the US will experience the death of a parent or sibling before the age of 18.   We learns how the Grief Club incorporates Art in their therapy.

Thank you Penny for this presentation.  For more information, go to griefclubmn.org.
