The Parmenter HEART play sm program is offering a Spring Workshop for children and teens grieving the death of a relative or friend. In HEART playsm, participants can express feelings of grief in a nurturing environment and continue healing in their own unique ways. With the guidance and support of an Expressive Arts Therapist/Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in bereavement, children and teens will use visual expression, music, movement, writing and story-telling to help give meaning to their experiences. The opportunity to share with their peers in creative and sensitive ways will enable children and teens to build a deeper understanding about death and life. The schedule is: Preschool-Kindergarten 9:00-9:45a.m.; Grades 1-6 10:00a.m.- noon; Teen Group 1:00-3:00p.m. Group size is limited. Early pre-registration is encouraged. For information and to register, please call Jennifer Wiles, MA, LMHC, BC-DMT, HEART playsm Director at (508)358-3000, ext. 244 or email at jwiles@parmenter.org.
