Grief doesn’t look the same for every child — and neither should the support they receive. 💛
Veronica Nunez and NCF Board Members recently visited The Children's Bereavement Center of South Texas (CBC) to learn more about how they help children, young adults, and families navigate the loss of a loved one — at no cost to families.
From peer support groups and individual counseling to grief camps and school-based services, CBC creates spaces where children can process loss in ways that feel natural to them. Through play, art, music, sand therapy, drama, and other creative approaches, children are given the opportunity to express emotions that may be difficult to put into words.
CBC also brings support directly into schools across six districts, helping remove transportation and access barriers for children and families who may not be able to reach the center.
We’re grateful to Kristina Hernandez, CEO; Ann-Marie Camosy Murray, Chief Development Officer; Adriana McKinnon, Chief Program Officer; and Marianne Dowdy, Vice Chair and Board Member, for welcoming Veronica and our NCF Board Members and sharing such an insightful look at CBC’s work. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to see firsthand the intentional care, compassion, and creativity behind the support you provide to children and families navigating loss. 💛
