From art therapy to peer support groups, Dr. Sokol shares how the Bereavement Center has helped thousands of children and families navigate the pain of losing a loved one. She also discusses the center's outreach in Uvalde, its school-based counseling programs, and how volunteers and donors play a vital role in sustaining its mission offered free of charge to families.
