Every year, thousands of children experience the loss of a loved one before they reach the age of eighteen, and between 10% and 15% of them suffer from psychological problems such as depression as a result of this traumatic experience.

It also provides parents, educators and therapists with supportive methods that help the grieving child to overcome this sensitive stage with greater receptivity and psychological flexibility.
