Rick Horton with Safe Space Camp teens

TV commentator and former Cardinal pitcher Rick Horton shares his experience with Safe Space Camp attendees.

Teens focus on grief coping projects at Safe Space Camp.

Hospice Bereavement/Safe Space Camp

St. Anthony’s Hospice Bereavement Program offers individuals and families who have suffered a loss free pastoral care and bereavement counseling for a year. Support groups meet regularly to provide assistance in conjunction with personal therapy and continued evaluation how families are dealing with their loss.

Safe Space Camp, a grief counseling camp, is also available free of charge for teens who have suffered a traumatic loss of a parent, grandparent, sibling or person in their lives through hospice, illness or tragedy.

Making a memorial gift that enables another family to cope with a loss, or provides emotional support for a young-person is a remarkable legacy to leave for a loved one.

“At first, I didn’t want to go to camp,” Jacob admitted.“But it really helped me and I wound up having a great time.I used to feel really sad all the time, and the counselors helped me channel my anger by writing down my feelings.”

Safe Space attendee Jacob Kroutil, 13

Every gift helps us get to our goal. Thank you.
