SandCastles Grief and Loss Program

A Night at SandCastles

5:30pm 

SandCastles staff arrive at the site and begin preparing for the arrival of families.

 

6:15pm 

Families begin to arrive and partake in a light dinner.  This is a time for new and returning families to mingle with each other and with SandCastles facilitators.

 

6:45pm 

Age appropriate groups are formed and break off to begin their session away from the other groups.  The adults join together in a facilitated group as well.

Groups begin with "circle time" when group members have the opportunity to introduce themselves and share why they are here.

 

8:00pm 

Groups sessions complete and families reassemble.  Time for good-byes, until the next meeting.

 

Facilitators and staff begin their debriefing sessions to review what happened in each group.  This is part of SandCastles' plan to continually evaluate its effort to ensure we are providing exactly what our communities request.
