“Special friends” commit to attend 13 weekly sessions and utilize child-directed play to help children (3-12yo) experiencing the recent loss of a loved one. There are three cycles each year: Spring, Summer, and Fall. Each cycle is 13 weeks and is held in the evenings at our Patient & Family Service Center in Fresno. All sessions are supervised by a licensed or registered clinician. Volunteers must complete an application, undergo a background/reference check, and participate in training.
