A Word from Jacqui Brown, Program Coordinator

The snow and cold winds did eventually arrive in Kansas, as we knew they would! Please be careful on the slick icy roads as you travel from work, school, holiday shopping...

January is just around the corner and I am getting ready for the weekend training for new volunteer facilitators for Three Trees. We do not yet know where this training will be held but I do know that we are ready to welcome you!


This next initial facilitator training is on January 10th and 11th. It is a very important weekend where you will join others and start to tread the sacred ground of companioning grieving children and their caregivers.

If you have spoken to any of the staff at Three Trees about becoming a facilitator and you have not heard from us please call. There are some administrative hoops to jump through and a preliminary interview with me before you are enrolled.

Georgia Ahern and I are looking forward to training you. You will become part of the heart of Three Trees; a dedicated group of volunteer facilitators who are excited to mentor you through your first Ggoups. Your journey with us will be life changing.

"Each time we meet a new bereaved child, we tend to rethink the whys of human existence and, ever so slightly, amend our life philosophy so that it incorporates what we learn from this child." ~ Alan D. Wolfelt, PH.D.
