Feel the Magic is a place where families experiencing grief can belong

Our early intervention grief programs are designed for children and young people aged 7 to 17. We open our family day camps to families with younger children  as well, where the focus is on connection: feeling less alone, meeting others who understand, and navigating grief together as a family.

100% free for families
