The Harbor of Healing Program


Mission Statement

At the Harbor of Healing Program, we aim to offer sanctuary for families and individuals navigating the emotional challenges of grief. Our mission is to provide a compassionate space where healing begins, strength is rediscovered, and connections are forged among those who truly understand the weight of loss. Together, we transform grief into growth and create a strong community of support.


Who We Serve

Our program is dedicated to families with children undergoing cancer treatment, as well as those grappling with the profound emotional impact of loss. We recognize the unique challenges you face and are here to help you process these emotions in a safe, understanding, and uplifting environment.


Whether you're a parent wrestling with feelings of helplessness, a sibling managing their confusion and sadness, or a family member seeking to support your loved ones, the Harbor of Healing Program is here to guide you through. You are not alone.


Our Key Services and Activities

The Harbor of Healing Program offers resources and experiences designed to nurture emotional well-being, encourage self-discovery, and build resilience. Here’s how we’ll support you:


1. Guided Support Groups
  • Participate in small, intimate group conversations led by trained grief counselors. These sessions offer a space to share stories, listen to others’ journeys, and take the steps toward emotional healing—in community with others who truly understand.

2. Family Healing Workshops
  • Engage in hands-on workshops designed for families to bond, communicate, and heal together. These interactive sessions include creative expression, mindfulness practices, and guided discussions to help families discover shared strength.

3. Therapeutic Activities
  • Explore activities such as art therapy, journaling, and music therapy to express emotions when words feel insufficient. These tools provide an outlet for self-reflection and emotional relief.

4. Educational Resources
  • Access materials and expert sessions on coping mechanisms, self-care practices, and strategies for managing the emotional weight of grief while supporting children undergoing cancer treatment. These practical tools empower families to rebuild their emotional well-being.

5. Peer-to-Peer Mentorship
  • Connect with individuals and families who have successfully navigated similar challenges. These meaningful relationships foster support, encouragement, and hope for those beginning their healing process.

6. Community Events
  • Join grief-awareness events, remembrance ceremonies, and family-oriented activities created to strengthen community bonds and honor the memory of loved ones. Together, we celebrate life and share in the collective power of hope.


Why Harbor of Healing?

When we grieve, it’s easy to feel isolated and overwhelmed. But healing happens when we remember we don’t have to walk the road alone. At Harbor of Healing, we’re more than just a program—we’re a family of understanding hearts and open arms. By fostering connections and offering a safe space, we empower families to find strength from within and among each other.


Because healing is possible. Growth is possible. Hope is possible.
