Bernie's Buddies Workshops integrate a peer support environment where youth interact with other youth who've experienced a death loss in their lives. They participate together in a therapy dog visit, yoga exercise movement and mindfulness, and creative grief conversation to help each other find community while navigating emotions after a life-altering loss.

**Please note the loss does not have to be recent.

​

Participants receive a certificate of completion and a picture of

Brisk, our therapy dog.

Parents and caregivers are encouraged to visit with each other while their children are participating in the workshops.
