One of the difficult things that the death of a special person brings is the absence of their physical presense; sometimes it’s helpful to have something you can hold onto in your grief.
Kids Art is the part of the Healing Arts Program that is specially designed for children age 6+ and their families. Led by a Board-certified art therapist, the workshops provide grieving people with a creative outlet for their grief. No art experience is necessary.
Participants will make a huggable heart-shaped pillow from fleece to remember their loved one; a piece of fabric from your loved one’s clothing may be incorporated.
Kids are required to have an adult family member in attendance for this virtual workshop.
We use Microsoft Teams for the virtual workshop sessions, which is similar to Zoom. When you register, you are sent an email inviation with a link to join the workshop. New supplies for the art assignment are shipped to you, and they will be yours to keep.
Each workshop consists of two sessions, a week apart. In the first session, a theme or topic is introduced and we have a small group discussion. You are given instructions on the art assignment for the week. We get back together in the second session to share and talk about the art, memories and feelings.
Call Mollie Borgione at 216.486.6544 or email mborgione@hospicewr.org for more information and to register. Please register two weeks in advance of the workshop date and include your home address so that the art supplies can be mailed to you.
We have waived our suggested $5.00 donation for supplies during the pandemic. However, if you wish to make a donation to the Healing Arts Program of Hospice of the Western Reserve, please go to our website hospicewr.org and click on Donate Now, or call our Development Team at 855.475.0245.
