We understand that children comprehend death and cope with grief differently than adults. Our Blue Elephant program is specially designed to provide an environment to help children navigate the complex emotions of grief in a safe, healthy manner.
With the Blue Elephant Project, a huggable, blue elephant plushie arrives at the children’s home along with a box of “feelings cards”. These cards describe emotions that children might be experiencing and suggest ways to address them. This also includes an adult guide with useful information about helping children cope with death and the journey of healing.
For Blue Elephant information, please contact our team at 1-888-599-7328 and ask to speak with a Bereavement Coordinator. For consistent updates and resources, please refer to our Facebook page: AHN Healthcare@Home.
