Studies show that unresolved grief can lead to poor school performance, sleep difficulties, behavior challenges, illness, criminal activity, and other problems.

Healing Hearts Kits are packed with materials that help grieving young people develop the necessary coping skills to adjust to loss in healthy ways.

This program has been sponsored by Omaha Public Library, Ted E. Bear Hollow (a center for grieving children) and by the Nebraska Health Information Partnerships: a joint project of the National Network/Libraries of Medicine, the University of Nebraska Medical Center McGoogan Library of Medicine, and the Nebraska Library Commission.
