The Denver Hospice hosts support groups and events for our community.
Footprints Grief Center
Established in 1993, the Footprints Children’s Grief Center helps heal children and teens, ages 3-17, who have a loved one facing a life-limiting illness and end of life transition. Children are affected by these changes, but often show their feelings differently than adults do. Footprints provides a safe space to express thoughts and feelings and develop tools for managing grief.
Our trained children’s grief counselors facilitate healing through art, movement and play – the ways children naturally express and process feelings. Parents and caregivers receive coaching around how to best support their child through the grief process.
Footprints provides counseling before and after the loss of a loved one. Anticipatory grief counseling for families of The Denver Hospice is offered in the comfort of your own home or at our kid-friendly Footprints studio at our administrative offices. Counseling for the community bereaved is available at our Footprints studio.
