     The Anchors Program is one of the many wonderful grief services offered by Hospice of The Sacred Heart. The purpose of this program is to help teens ages 14 to 18 normalize their thoughts and feelings related to loss and share their experiences with one another.

     
    Teens will be allowed to bring a friend to help serve as an "anchor" for the participant who has experienced the loss; to help provide their friend with safety and stability as they navigate the grieving process. Pre-registration is required.
     
    This program is currently virtual. All supplies are provided to the participants and all programs are free of charge. Call 570-344-9027 to register.
