Area middle and high school students are invited to meet with one another as part of a new event presented by Lower Cape Fear Hospice & LifeCareCenter’s Sunrise Teens program.
Sunrise Teens MeetUps are an opportunity to meet other young people who have experienced the death of someone important in their lives. Teens are invited to gather to learn a little about how grief has touched the lives of other teens.
Middle school students are invited to meet up from noon-1:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 20, at the Phillips LifeCare & Counseling Center, 1414 Physicians Drive in Wilmington. High school students are invited to meet up from noon-1:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 24, also at the Phillips LifeCare & Counseling Center.
The groups will be facilitated by bereavement counselors Marty Hernandez and Katelyn Kivett. There will be time for something fun; time for more serious conversation; and time for lunch. A $3 donation is suggested to help cover the cost of lunch.
Young people must register in advance. To attend, consent from a parent or guardian must be provided. To register, call Melinda McKeon at 796-7991.
