Aracelis, one of our Cove parents wrote, “[The Cove] provided a platform for open discussions about our loss, participation in grief-related events, and the opportunity to support and be present for others facing deep loss.” Messages such as this are the reason we continue to offer support to grieving families. If you are a Cove family, please feel free to reach out to ingrid@covect.org and let us know about your experience in our Family Program, Virtual Programs, or Camp Compassion. #nonprofit #ctnonprofit #griefsupport #griefawareness #bereavementsupport

We can share knowledge and resources that will change the trajectory of lives.” That is what the work of Valley Restart is all about! ⭐️ To checkout the work of Valley Restart, explore their website at https://lnkd.in/grVpEVfG. — #homelessness #homelessrehabilitation #nonprofit #nonprofitleadership
