Programs: our School Based Program. Through this program, our 4 counselors provide grief support services to over 360 school aged children in over 42 schools in the Shoals area, including the Muscle Shoals School District, the Lauderdale County School District, the Colbert County School District, the Franklin County School District, the Florence City Schools, the Tuscumbia City Schools, the Russellville City Schools, and the Sheffield City Schools. At the Healing Hearts Program at The Healing Place, we provide weekly bereavement support groups for over 100 children and their caregivers after the loss of a significant individual. The Healing Hearts Day Camp is for children ages 3-19 who have experienced the death of a loved one. At camp, each camper will have an opportunity to meet and make friends with other children who have also suffered the loss of a loved one.
