What it is
Footprints
The Footprints Program is a community-wide program serving children experiencing grief and loss. Footprints places children in an 8 week after-school peer support group with other children, ages 6-15, who have experienced loss. Children learn to effectively cope and identify a wide range of emotions in a safe and nurturing environment.
Program mission
The mission of Footprints is to serve children dealing with grief in a faith-based environment that is safe and accepting of all emotions, and to help the child understand and begin to deal with the emotions regarding their loss.

My precious child, I love you and will never leave you.
Never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.
