The guide reinforces many of the grief-informed principles our volunteers already practice—creating safe spaces, fostering peer connection, thoughtful group preparation, intentional communication with caregivers, and prioritizing facilitator self-care.We encourage all Camp Cope facilitators to explore this guide as a way to deepen skills, strengthen group structure, and continue providing the highest quality support to the children and families we serve.
