Grief Counseling
Sometimes you just need to talk to someone
Grief counseling is a key tool in helping yourself process a significant loss. However, the cost of grief counseling often is a barrier that prohibits the grieving from seeking out this service.
The 26 Foundation believes that when someone loses a parent during their most formative years of life, the opportunity to process the loss and the emotional ramifications that accompany it with a trained counselor are invaluable. For this reason, we are happy to provide financial support to help you obtain these services.
