The Confessional: A unique way that kids are sharing their grief
K.C. Delp, the Executive Director of Olivia's House, a grief and loss center for children in York, PA, says that their goal is to help kids put meaning to their loss and cope in a positive and healthy way. Olivia's House focuses on the power of sharing stories as a way to cope. And, they have created a truly unique way of sharing. It's called "The Confessional."K.C. says that they noticed that kids were turning to Facebook as a place to dump their emotions after the loss of a loved one. They were sharing things that weren't necessarily true... it was just how they felt. It also left them vulnerable. Journaling is a healthy tool for kids struggling to understand their emotions. "The Confessional," based off of MTV's Real World confessional, is a safe and private space at Olivia's House, where kids can create a video journal where they have an opportunity to unload all of their emotions, questions, anxiety.
