Hospice of the Piedmont offers free bereavement counseling to children and teens in Nelson County who have lost loved ones. In addition, Nelson children are eligible to attend Kids’ Grief and Healing programs offered by Hospice of the Piedmont.
Success Story:
A significant part of the Kids’ Grief and Healing program are Journey Camps. Four Journey camps are held each year across Central Virginia. During 2025, 79 grieving children and family members, including some from Nelson County, attended one of the Journey Camps. Campers connect with nature through creative activities and learn they are not alone in their grief.
