"The volunteers are truly a blessing to the children. Their time is very much appreciated....I hope it gives them great joy to know that they have made such a difference in a child's life."
Danelle Burch
The groups at Healing House are conducted by volunteer facilitators who are trained to observe, listen, and respond to children who are grieving. A facilitator is not a counselor, but serves as a caring companion in a children or parent group.
Facilitators assist: they do not direct. They follow, they do not lead.
Facilitators must be 21 years of age and be willing to commit to two evenings a month during the school year. Volunteer training is offered twice a year, usually in August and February and is conducted over a three-day period.
Trainees must attend all three training sessions.
There are several ways to get involved, and make a difference!
Children support group facilitator
Adult support group facilitator
Clerical & office volunteer
Fundraising and grant writing
Board of Directors
Advisory Council
Healing House would welcome the assistance of any service organizations to participate in special group projects throughout the year. For example, each summer we organize a group to help with "Operation Clean Sweep" to assist the staff in preparing for the upcoming year.
