DocuSign Envelope ID:38357F45-0FD1-474F-992F-A2DODA42A3E2 t A- continued <br /> Provider's Outside Agency Application <br /> Page 5 — Program / Project Description <br /> (b) Programs: <br /> Duke Hospice Bereavement Services has a vibrant and active children's bereavement program <br /> which emphasizes the importance of recognizing the developmental consequences of death and <br /> grief during the early years. We have developed a workshop which targeted all school personnel <br /> who may have contact with children. The goal of this workshop was to provide education and <br /> resources to assist school personnel to better understand the impact of grief and loss on the <br /> cognitive, physical and emotional well-being of children. The Bereavement Center is located in <br /> Hillsborough and serves as a primary resource for grief support and education for both the <br /> Chapel Hill/Carrboro and Orange County School system. We receive regular calls from school <br /> personnel in both districts requesting support, resources, education and intervention for the <br /> children in their districts. <br /> (c) Town/county priority: Protect and Provide for a safe community <br /> (d) Population to be served. <br /> Duke Hospice Bereavement Services has been a leader in providing grief support and education <br /> in the Triangle Area and has partnered with local school systems to address the needs of grieving <br /> students in the school setting. For over 15 years we have consulted with and responded to <br /> requests for support in the local school systems and in the communities we serve. <br /> (e) Who specifically will carry out? <br /> The Bereavement Center staff consisting of 2.6 full time staff will provide the services indicated. <br /> The staff provides training to student interns who will also be available on a limited basis to <br /> provide these services. The primary location will be the Unicorn Bereavement Center located in <br /> Hillsborough. Additional sites will include any school in the districts serving student in Orange <br /> County as well as administrative offices of those districts and other gathering places which will <br /> accommodate the provision of services requested. <br /> (f) Describe period: <br /> Camp ReLEAF is an annual event and is next scheduled for April 29, 30 & May 1, 2016. It will <br /> be held at Camp New Hope. This schedule is followed as closely as possible each year after <br /> adjusting for holidays or religious events which may interfere with those periods of time. <br /> School based grief support groups are located at the requesting school site and will run for a total <br /> of 6 weeks. The frequency will be determined by the number of requests received. <br />
