Peer to Peer Grief Support: the kite network utilizes a unique peer-to-peer model through which community volunteers, who have themselves endured loss, are trained to provide compassionate support to individuals who have suffered a more recent loss. kite network Peer Counselors meet with their clients weekly to offer ongoing support and provide a model of hope for living a full life after loss. the kite network is currently accepting new clients including adults who have lost a child, spouse/partner, sibling, parent, or close friend. the kite network is always welcoming new Peer Counselors, and all services are offered free of charge.

 

Community Education: the kite network conducts educational programs for businesses, service providers, and community groups to build a community supportive of those in grief. Educational topics include how to create a workplace that is welcoming to those who have experienced a loss, what to say and what not to say to someone is grieving, and what to expect when you are grieving.
