​​Bernie's Buddies Workshops offer a peer support environment where youth connect with other youth who've experienced a death loss of an important person in their lives. They participate together in a therapy dog visit, yoga exercise movement and mindfulness, and creative grief conversation. Our goal is to help kids find community and feel less alone while navigating their bereavement.

​

**Please note the death does not have to be recent - it also does not have to be a relative. Children and youth often have people in their lives who are not relatives that have made a significant impact and their loss can be equally profound.** 

​​​

Parents and caregivers are encouraged to visit with each other or take this time for themselves to practice self-care while their children are participating in the workshops.
