The Hospice of Washington County bereavement department will be hosting a Soaring Doves Teen Program in partnership with the Hagerstown YMCA. Though experiencing a death can be a life-changing event for anyone, adolescence is a crucial period of development. Our Teen Program is designed to meet the unique needs of those 13-18 years of age who have experienced the death of a loved one.
This program is a NEW opportunity for grieving families to connect with other grieving families. Like walking along a path in the outdoors, grief is a journey taken one step at a time. HWC welcomes you to join us on May 20th, June 24th, July 29th , and August 19th at the Hagerstown YMCA to participate in helping you to put one foot in front of the other, literally and figuratively, allowing nature to connect and ground you to the present—as you remember, feel, and grieve.
