Healing with Play

November is Children’s Grief Awareness Month! Join GRCM to illuminate the needs of grieving children & the importance of support and resources for their grief journey.

If you, or someone you know, is supporting a child through grief:
Normalize conversations about death/loss in everyday community spaces.
Help children feel seen & supported so they know they are not alone.
Offer creative, healing outlets—art, storytelling, memory-making—within museum programs.
Raise awareness among caregivers and educators about grieving children’s needs.
Highlight grief as a shared human experience where healing can begin in ordinary places.

During the month of November, GRCM is participating in Healing with Play, a nationwide initiative led by children’s museums together with the Association of Children’s Museums, Knology, & the New York Life Foundation. Visit GRCM today to explore the opportunities to heal with play.
