Children, as well as adults, experience grief over the loss of a loved one. Realizing that they are not alone, children and adults can work through their feelings and express their emotions when provided with a supportive environment. The programs of The Oak Tree Corner provide this environment by encouraging the sharing of feelings and information to facilitate the process of healing.

This program serves young people between 3 and 18 years old in age-specific groups designed to encourage peer support. Families gather twice a month beginning with a pizza dinner from 6:00 - 6:30. From 6:30 - 7:30 children meet in groups with trained adult volunteers. Parents and guardians meet in their own group. At 7:30, all participants gather for a brief closing cermomy.

The Oak Tree Corner offers open-ended admission. Families begin and end according to their own personal needs. They may start one week or one year after their loss. Meetings are held year round with a summer recess in July and August. A typical family comes to The Oak Tree Corner for 12 to 18 months.
