Support for Kids

Thank You to Our 2020 Holiday Cheer & Sam’s Wish Fund Donors

Each holiday season, AuthoraCare Collective collects gifts and monetary donations to provide children and families who are struggling financially with gifts. In 2020, we raised more than $18,500 in gifts and donations.

Is My Child Grieving Normally?

Children tend to respond to death very differently from their adult family members. Kids Path counselors often receive questions from parents and caregivers who are worried about how their child is coping with a recent loss.

Facing the New Normal: Transition to Post-Pandemic Life

In recent weeks, it seems that a new hope is awakening. With the widening availability of COVID-19 vaccines, as well as the arrival of spring weather, we wonder if a “return to normal” could be just around the bend. Of course, it’s impossible to know for sure how soon that may happen, or even whether the new normal will resemble our lives before the pandemic.

Helping Kids Cope with Loss at the Holidays

We expect the holidays to be a magical and happy time. This year, the holiday season may be challenging because of the many aspects of loss and separation caused by COVID-19. Families who were already grieving a loved one before the pandemic may find it especially stressful to navigate holiday expectations.
