"Much like a butterfly, the struggles of children and teens in grief often go unnoticed" ~Maya Angelou
Last year, 49% of students who participated in COJ school-based support groups had experienced the death of a parent, and 58% had suffered the death of an immediate family member (parent or sibling).
In Ohio, it’s estimated that 1 in 11 children and teens will experience the death of a parent or sibling by their 18th Birthday.
The Need is Great. This is where YOU and I come in.
Through OUR generous support of Companions on a Journey, we can provide bereaved children, teens and adults with a safe space to process feelings of grief and loss, connect with a caring community of peers, and strengthen critical wellness and resiliency skills. Our support allows COJ to help each person navigate their grief journey; discovering their new normal as they move forward.
