Blue Butterfly at Tidewell Grief Care

No child grieves alone at Blue Butterfly Family Grief Center

The Blue Butterfly Family Grief Center is a Tidewell Hospice program that helps grieving children and teens, ages 5-18, through peer-support groups and activities.

Families may enroll regardless of when the death occurred and regardless if there was a previous relationship with Tidewell Hospice or not. Blue Butterfly groups are facilitated by mental health professionals and trained volunteers. The facilitators use evidence-based interventions that support children and families on their grief journey.

Here is what you need to know:
Group open to children, ages 5-18 and their caregivers, who have had a death of a Special Person in their lives.
All groups are facilitated by clinical professionals and supported by trained volunteers.
Please call 941-893-6610 to enroll your family.
Meetings will take place twice per month from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Group sessions begin with a family-style dinner provided by Tidewell.
Children and teens will be divided into age-appropriate groups.
Caregivers will simultaneously meet in their own group for fellowship and education.
Sessions include peer group support, art, games, music, and fellowship.
