For Families
Families dealing with a death can find information on programs and resources available to them. Parents can learn how each age/developmental level copes with death.
For Kids
This section contains resources for kids dealing with grief as well as information for adults who want to learn how to better support kids.
For Teens
Teens deal with death and grief differently than younger children. We have tailored programs and information specifically toward teens that have lost a loved one or a close friend.
For Young Adults
Even in our young adulthood, dealing with the loss of a loved one can be very difficult. Our new programs for young adults provide a safe, supportive environment for those ages 18-30.
For Professionals
Professionals can learn about upcoming training opportunities, ways to support grieving children and teens with whom they work, and how to refer families to our program.

Free Resource Kits for Grieving Families
A partnership between Sesame Street, New York Life and the National Alliance for Grieving Children is generating national awareness about grieving families.
Nebraska Public Television aired a special featuring Katie Couric and various Sesame Street muppets. They interviewed four grieving families and explored the wide array of questions, concerns and obstacles faced by these families after experiencing a significant death. This was a fabulous video and would be helpful for parents and families ... from children to teens and adults as well!
As part of this initiative, Ted E. Bear Hollow has received 200 free family resource kits. These kits, which contain a DVD, information packet on how to support grieving children, and a children's book, are available in both English and Spanish.
If you would like one of these free family resource kits, please contact us at 502-2773. You can stop by during regular business hours (8:00 am - 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday) to pick up a copy for your family, school or agency! These are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
