Ted E. Bear Hollow Volunteer, Kay Kronholm, Honored

Ted E. Bear Hollow grief support facilitator and LMHP Kay Kronholm was honored as the 2011 recipient of the United Way Volunteer of the Year Award for adults serving youth.foo  Kay was nominated for this prestigious award for the hundreds of hours she has devoted to serving grieving youth in our community.  Whether working directly with youth at Ted E. Bear Hollow day camps and groups or training future facilitators, presenting to community professionals and consulting schools after a death, Kay has truly made an impact in the lives of thousands of grieving children and teens. 

The nomination for her award reads:

“Her thanks comes in the form of the smiles, and yes, sometimes the tears, from the kids she helps learn how to grieve in healthy ways.  Kids who, because of time spent with Kay (or someone she has trained) may very well make better decisions later in their lives.  Kids who have a significantly improved chance of becoming productive members of our community – because Kay played a role in their grief journey.”

Congratulations to Kan Kronholm on this incredible achievement!
