Grieving Families Healing Together

Virtual and In-person Family Workshops

** Registration for the 2025 Grieving Families Healing Together workshops is now open. **

The Wendt Center for Loss and Healing is thrilled to present the 6th year of the Grieving Families Healing Together program.

Originally developed in response to the isolation and grief of the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, this unique hybrid program offers grieving families a compassionate space to heal, grow, and connect. Through a combination of in-person and virtual creative workshops, we invite families to remember and honor their loved ones, strengthen communication within the family, learn and practice creative ways for emotional expression and wellbeing, and connect with other families navigating grief.

This year’s program includes seven interactive workshops, scheduled on Saturday and Sunday mornings from October through December 2025. This program is free of charge and is appropriate for youth 5-17 years old and their families. Each session is led by our exceptional team of skilled, empathetic professionals who guide families through meaningful activities that support healing and connection.

Participants will explore grief in safe, supportive settings where all family members‘ self-expression is heard, valued, honored, and validated.

We invite you to join us for this deeply supportive journey — whether you’re newly grieving or continuing to process a loss, the Wendt Center believes “No one should grieve alone.”

Registration is necessary for ALL interested families.

The Wendt Center strives for a family environment that cultivates kindness, compassion, respect, and inclusivity, in an intentional and affirming way. Our family program fosters grief exploration, social skills, courage and understanding in healing and supportive spaces. We invite our family program community to preserve a safe and supportive environment that treats all people with dignity and thoughtful regard.
