ABOUT OUR GUEST
Sara Asch is the Bereavement Services Coordinator for the Center for Grieving Children in Portland, Maine. The Center for Grieving Children was founded in 1987 by Portland, Maine resident Bill Hemmens, following the death of his sister. In trying to find help and support for his niece Erin, Bill recognized that children need peers and caring adults to support them through their grief, because death profoundly affects every aspect of their lives.
Today, the Center for Grieving Children, still based in Portland, and virtually to keep families safe during the pandemic, serves nearly 3,000 grieving children, teens, families, and young adults annually through peer support, outreach, and education. From July 2020 - June 2021, the Center served 621 individuals in peer support groups.
