Bernie's Buddies helps kids and youth live more fully after the death loss of a special person in their lives.

We provide alternative, accessible peer group workshops for kids and youth who might not otherwise have an option for bereavement support.

Our innovative workshops feature three key activities: a therapy dog visit, yoga exercises with relaxation, and creative grief conversation.

We are 100% volunteer-run. Your support directly ensures we can continue to offer our workshops at no cost to participants so that family income is not a barrier to learning and practicing skills and tools to help them in their grief experiences.
