Clear boundaries
What you can expect from FG2H.
Trust begins with being clear about what we do, what we do not do, and how participation should feel.
Is FG2H a therapy or counseling provider?
No. FG2H provides education, advocacy, practical resources, programs, and community support. We do not diagnose, counsel, prescribe, treat, or provide crisis response.
Does anyone have to share a personal loss?
No. A private grief story is never the price of participation. Programs do not require disclosure of a loss, trauma, diagnosis, or private family information.
Is grief only about death?
Bereavement matters, but grief can follow many forms of loss. FG2H teaches recognition and compassionate response without diagnosing what another person is experiencing.
How can an organization work with FG2H?
Schools, faith communities, nonprofits, service providers, donors, sponsors, volunteers, and local leaders can begin with an inquiry. We will identify a clearly defined, responsible next step together.
Connect with FG2H
Start with the right conversation.
