Mercy Care

Children's Services

     Losing someone you love is always heart-wrenching, but for a child it can be especially devastating. While children feel the loss deeply, they often don’t have the words to talk about it or get help. Some may even think they’re responsible for their loved one’s death. The same holds true for children struggling through a divorce, a parent leaving or being remanded to foster care.
     Helping children heal requires highly trained counselors who use play, art, music and other specialized therapies, combined with lots of hugs. Mercy recognized this important need more than a decade ago and has these experts available to help, whenever and wherever they’re needed. When children are helped by counseling, they can go on to reach their full potential. Schools report improved grades, renewed interest in extracurricular activities, increased concentration and improved social skills.
If any child you know could benefit from our counseling program, please call us today.
