Would my teenager benefit from attending peer support group at MargaretAnns Place?
Peer support groups are one of the best ways to help bereaved teens heal. In group teens can connect with other teens who have experienced a loss. They are allowed and encouraged to tell their stories as much, and as often, as they like. In this setting most will be willing to acknowledge that death has been a life altering experience. During the teenage years, your child is seeking independence and learning to act on their own. They are naturally separating from their parents. This can be a difficult and confusing time for a teen who is also experiencing death. MargaretAnn’s Place provides the safety and security that your teen needs to work through these complex issues. Our trained volunteers provide the atmosphere to explore these issues that help validate the teens experiences so that the teens can deal with their grief in a safe and healthy way.
