About The Barr-Harris Children's Grief Center

The Barr-Harris Children's Grief Center has provided treatment to bereaved children and their families for over 30 years. Children encounter many challenges that may disrupt or interfere with their development. Perhaps the most difficult of these and the one having the greatest impact is the loss of a parent or other family member through death, divorce, or abandonment.

The Barr-Harris Children's Grief Center was created to provide specialized help to children and families who have suffered such a loss.

These six workshops are designed to provide you with critical information about the impact of parent loss on children and families, along with appropriate treatment strategies. The focus of these seminars will be practical in nature. Specifi c situations will be presented, and a variety of psychodynamic interventions will be explored.

You pay only $25 for each workshop or $125 for all six, and you receive continuing education credit.
