the kite network is a local, nonprofit organization that provides community education and support to adults who are grieving the loss of a loved one. the kite network was formed to:

– lift the spirits and lives of those struggling with grief

– provide love and support

– help them live a full life after loss

 

Peer to Peer Grief Support: the kite network utilizes a unique peer-to-peer model through which community volunteers, who have themselves endured loss, are trained to provide compassionate support to individuals who have suffered a more recent loss. kite network Peer Counselors meet with their clients weekly to offer ongoing support and provide a model of hope for living a full life after loss. the kite network is currently accepting new clients including adults who have lost a child, spouse/partner, sibling, parent, or close friend. the kite network is always welcoming new Peer Counselors, and all services are offered free of charge.

 

Community Education: the kite network conducts educational programs for businesses, service providers, and community groups to build a community supportive of those in grief. Educational topics include how to create a workplace that is welcoming to those who have experienced a loss, what to say and what not to say to someone is grieving, and what to expect when you are grieving. Materials and presentations are available upon request.
