Carter’s Clubhouse

 

Since 1989, Serenity HospiceCare had a vision of providing the best in end-of-life care to those who needed it. What they didn’t know at the time was that hospice would not be the only service they would provide to the community in the years to come.

They knew there were others in the community who were in need of support. Children – in particular, grieving children – were in great need of someone to help them understand and work through painful feelings and emotions that surrounded a loss. They felt it was critical to provide a community resource that could address those needs.

In 2008, the Director of Bereavement Services researched children’s grief resources in our area. Though there were multiple opportunities for grieving adults to find help, nothing existed – beyond what the schools were able to offer – that focused on how to help children grieve. As a result, the focus was on creating a grief support group for children.

Years later, when Serenity’s children’s grief program was created, it was named Carter’s Clubhouse. Today, it remains a place where grieving children can share their experiences with other children who have similar stories.

Children participate in many activities at Carter’s Clubhouse, including story-telling, letter writing, drama, art, music and crafts all of which are techniques used to help children express their grief through behavior and play. Led by a Licensed Masters of Social Worker, Carter’s Clubhouse is proud to be a nationally-recognized, award-winning program.
