Our Story
Childhood and teen grief are often misunderstood and under-recognized. In response to the lack of ongoing support services for grieving children and teens, Lynn Snyder, a licensed professional counselor specializing in childhood bereavement, founded Common Ground Grief Center. Established in 2009, the center began with just three children and their caregivers meeting in a local church basement. Today, it has grown into a vital resource for the community, providing a nurturing environment where children can share their experiences of loss and begin to heal.
