Union Bluff 8 Beach Street, York, Maine, United StatesThis year we’ll be gathering for our 3rd annual Winter Blues Bereavement Luncheon at the Union Bluff in York, ME on January 19th from 12-3pm.
Our Programs
Community Gatherings
We provide a safe, supportive space for emotional healing through peer-to-peer connections and joyful, therapeutic activities.
Although the value and quality of our intimate, immersive retreats is significant, a one-time experience for a family simply isn’t enough to heal the trauma they’ve amassed through a child’s cancer treatment and/or death. One goal over the next few years is to create more of a “Continuum of Care” for our local families. We see a greater benefit coming from long-term support and the feeling of being a part of a community that truly understands.
In 2023, other than our signature retreats, we offered a handful of events with the intention of bringing local families who have experienced the unimaginable together. These included a Winter Blues Bereavement luncheon in January, two nights out in Portsmouth for parents to participate in a Vent Room and attend dinner and a show at the Music Hall, a mom & teen stand-up paddle board experience on the York River, and a Community Pizza Supper and foam party to celebrate Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
