Heartplay and Camp Erin Boston

As a complement to our current hospice and palliative care services, HEARTplay and Camp Erin, two Metrowest-based grief programs for youth have recently become a part of Good Shepherd Community Care. 

Heartplay is a heart-centered bereavement program designed to serve children, teens and young adults of all abilities who are coping with the death of an important person in their lives or with a  life-limiting illness.  

Camp Erin Boston is a free bereavement camp for youth who are grieving the death of a significant person in their lives.

These programs will allow for the continued growth of grief and bereavement programming for youth and families in our community.

These programs will allow for the continued growth of grief and bereavement programming for youth and families in our community.  HEARTplay and Camp Erin Boston are offered at no cost to all participants.

Good Shepherd is thrilled to be an awardee of The Cummings Foundation 30 Million Dollar Grant Program for our HEARTplay children's grief program. 

With this incredible support we look forward to expanding our unique grief and bereavement programs for children, teens and young adults of all abilities and their families in the greater Boston area.
