FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES
FAMILY SUPPORT
When a mother's transition from life to death is anticipated, the mourning process begins early and is filled with a range of conflicts and emotions as a girl watches her mother's health decline. By offering services that are uniquely their own, Harriett’s Daughters will help girls learn to manage their emotions so they can make the most of the remaining time with their mothers as they prepare for her transition. Our goal is to offer:
-
Opportunities for mother-daughter bonding through memorable activities and experiences
-
Resources for grief counseling, family counseling, and mother-daughter counseling
-
Assistance with honoring and memorializing a daughter's beloved mother
-
Community resources for families that may need additional services and assistance
MOTHER'S DAY BASKETS
In honor of Mother’s Day, we support girls by making and gifting them Mother's Day baskets! And, if there's a male sibling in the household, we make and gift him a basket too! We understand how tough Mother's Day can be for those grieving the loss of their mother, and our hope is to spread a little joy.
This year we're inviting families to pick up their baskets, enjoy lunch in a laid-back and relaxed atmosphere, and arrive (anytime within the event time frame) and leave at their leisure.
Note: This is a casual drop-in event.
Date: Saturday, May 13th
Time: 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Where: CreateATL
For more information and/or to register for a basket(s), please contact Neiasha Russell at 404-850-6435 or via email at nrussell@harriettsdaughters.org.
