Our Mission
Kids' Haven is an organization dedicated to serving the unique needs of grieving children and their families through support and education.
The foundation of Kids' Haven's philosophy is built on the beliefs that grief is a natural reaction to the death of a loved one; within each person is the capacity to heal; caring and acceptance assist the healing process; each person grieves in their own way and in their time; and sharing with others in a safe and supportive environment allows children to learn about grief and to participate fully in their own journey to recovery.
Our Vision
Kids' Haven strives to provide access to free grief support for every grieving child in the Greater Lynchburg, Virginia area
Our History
Kids’ Haven was founded as a community outreach project of the Junior League of Lynchburg. In 1998 we were chartered as an independent not-for-profit organization with the sole mission of serving, through the provision of support and educational programming, the unique needs of children grieving the death of a person who was significant in their lives.
