Soaring Doves Family Bereavement Tool Kit
What is it?
This resource is a "toolkit" which is a box full of multiple resources, comfort items, workbooks, and materials that have been designed to match a student's developmental level. Toolkits are available for the following age groups: Pre-K/Kindergarten, Elementary School, Middle School, and High School aged students. Each toolkit provides educational and helpful materials to help a student and family navigate grief and loss.
This initiative is funded by a grant awarded from the Maryland Community Health Resources Commission (CHRC). These toolkits are offered at NO COST to student and families. Any student who has experienced the loss of a loved one is welcome to receive this toolkit.
