The number of Georgia children who will experience a major loss in their families is increasing. One in ten children in Georgia will experience the death of a sibling or parent by the age of 18, according to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The Atlanta-based nonprofit Kate’s Club offers a space for children and families to process grief together. The organization recently expanded to serve families in Northeast Georgia. WUGA’s Emma Auer sat down with Kristen Hill, the Northeast Georgia Regional Coordinator for Kate’s Club, to discuss her organization and how best to support people experiencing grief. Here’s that conversation.
