Imagine provides peer-to-peer grief support groups to support children and families experiencing the death of a significant person in their lives. Whether it’s a parent, child or sibling.
Services are offered in person at our locations in Mountainside, Newark and online. Peer grief support groups are facilitated by trained volunteers and overseen by clinical staff. Support groups are available for adults experiencing the death of a child or the death of a life partner. Specialized groups are available for death due to suicide.
For one family, in-person peer grief support groups are held every other week for one year.
For all interested families to attend a one hour orientation with Imagine’s Clinical Team to determine the needs of the family.
From there, families are assigned to a Night of Support where children and adults go into separate age-appropriate groups to receive support.
Virtual support is held on Zoom and is available for any family who would prefer to join in from any location while practicing social distancing. We provide break-out rooms for intimate discussions, nightly activities for children of all ages, and virtual facilitators and clinical staff to provide a digital safe, brave space for anyone coping with loss.
To find out what’s the best type of support is for you and your family, fill out the grief support inquiry form or contact us at 908-264-3100 to learn more.
Imagine is not therapy or counseling. It is a peer support program that depends on the connections and sharing of group participants to assist individuals in mourning their loss.
Imagine exists to provide a safe space and place for children and adults to mourn their loss, develop healthy coping skills, and integrate the loss into their lives.
