The Healing Patch Children’s Grief Program is recruiting volunteers to work with grieving children and their families at the Cambria Center, 118 Ebony Road, Ebensburg. You are invited to attend an Open House at the center on Wednesday, May 3, from Noon-2 p.m. or 5-7 p.m.
The Healing Patch is a free peer-support program for children and their families who have suffered the death of a significant person, and volunteers are the heart of the Healing Patch. While volunteers must understand they are unable to “fix” what has happened, they are able to facilitate activities to help children and adults connect and share their feelings in a safe and welcoming environment. Specialized training is provided to new volunteers.
