The Healing Chickadee is an interactive, experiential grief program for children age 4 to age 11. The program includes a plush chickadee which arrives via U. S. Mail along with an invitation to an online offering of videos, activities, and music by a group of feathered friends called the Tweethearts. Created and presented through the non-profit known as Soulful Sydney, The Healing Chickadee is a catalyst for conversation and an opportunity for children and the trusted adults in their lives to make a connection as they come to terms with their feelings after a traumatic event.

Experience Camps provides free, one-week camps for boys and girls, ages 9-16, who have a parent, sibling or primary caregiver that died. It's a place where kids can laugh, cry, play, create, remember the person who died, or forget the grief that weighs them down. It's a place where they can feel "normal", because everyone there has been through something similar and understands what it's like to lose someone important to them. And just about everyone will tell you, "It's the best week of the year".
