The Forget-Me-Not Program accepts participants without regard to race, color, marital status,
sexual orientation, religion, sex, age, national origin, economic capabilities, or physical handicap.

Meeting times are every other Thursday / 6:30pm - 8:00pm

How much does it cost?
We do not charge a fee. We invite families to make a voluntary, tax deductible, monthly pledge that they can afford. No family is ever denied support because they cannot contribute. We rely on contributions from families and the community to provide the financial support needed to cover the costs for each child/teen. Because we provide support and not therapy, insurance policies do not cover our services.

How long after the death does a family need to wait before calling?
Parents or guardians may call and start the process for participation in the program as soon as they think they are ready. We believe the family is the best judge of when they are ready to deal with grief in a support group. Not all children in a family may be ready or want to participate at the same time.

How long is a family expected to attend?
Children are teens choose when to start and stop attending. Once enrolled, regular attendance is important to have the peer group be a supportive place for sharing the experiences of grief. A family is expected to call if they must be absent.

"It's good to talk with other that have gone through the same thing"

What if we need more support then the Forget-Me-Not Program offers?
While the program does not provide counseling services, we do provide the names of private licensed practitioners. The family is responsible for selecting the professional of their choice.

Arrangements for support groups or educational sessions tailored to special needs, such as for young adults or employee groups. Referral information to other groups, services and therapists is available.
