Heart Maps Activity at Valerie’s House 💜 Helping Kids Express Grief
Join Bobbie, our Volunteer and Group Manager at Valerie’s House, as she walks through a powerful group activity called Heart Maps.
Using books, poems, and puzzles, children, teens, and caregivers explore:
What hurts their heart 💔
What fills their heart with love, memories, and support 💜
Creative ways to share and release their feelings ✨
This activity helps grieving families open up, connect, and discover healthy ways to cope together.
