🩵Healing Hearts Group is Harlan's in-school grief support program offered to all children attending schools in Lauderdale, Colbert, and Franklin counties that we serve/have preexisting groups.

🩵Healing Hearts Group meets once per month and explores emotions, experiences, and responses surrounding grief in a safe environment with children that are already familiar with each other from school.

🩵Healing Hearts group is coordinated by a Healing Place counselor and Ms. Green.

🩵By filling out this form you are signing up your child to attend the group once per month. Healing Hearts meets at the discretion of the Healing Place and the school administration. By signing up you are not committing your child to attend every group if there is an absence, conflict, or important school event happening on the day that the group meets.

🩵If your child has attended Healing Hearts in previous years they will need to be registered again this school year! Participation requires a new form every year!
