Full Circle Grief Center

Full Circle is the only organization in Richmond that provides bereavement support to inner-city schools in their communities. By going into their communities, we help families who would not otherwise have access to grief support.

Full Circle's "Conversations about Grief" series enables our professionals to educate community members, families, or other professionals about children and the grieving process, how to talk with children about grief and loss, learn ways to support them through a death, and dispel myths about children and grief. Philosophy: Many individuals are uncomfortable talking about grief, feel unsure about what to say to those who are grieving, and don't know the appropriate ways to support a child through grief. Sometimes, our society avoids the topic of grief because it makes people feel uncomfortable. At Full Circle, we feel strongly about the importance of educating the public on grief and its effects on children. Unfortunately, grief is a natural and normal part of life and adults need the knowledge to support children through these difficult times.
