You belong here
No matter your background, tradition, heritage, or unique life journey, you belong here. At Hands Holding Hearts, we provide a safe, inclusive, and deeply compassionate sanctuary for anyone across Bucks County navigating the weight of loss. We walk gently alongside children, teens, adults, older adults, caregivers, and diverse family structures of all dynamics—honoring your personal history and supporting your timeline of healing.
Community
No one here grieves alone.
From support groups to Camp Feeling Better, every program is built around connection — a circle of people who understand loss and walk beside you through it.
How we help
Grief touches every part of a child’s world. Through counseling, support groups, and our summer bereavement camp, we walk beside children and families — helping them heal, find their voice, and know they are never alone.
Healing
Children learn they can carry their feelings.
Through art, play, and gentle conversation, children discover that grief is normal, that they are not alone, and that they can still create, laugh, and look ahead.
We Support
Individualized grief counseling for individuals, couples, and families facing death or end-of-life issues — for ages three through older adults.
We Teach
Support groups for all ages — structured and open formats, onsite or on location — plus Camp Feeling Better, our summer bereavement camp for children.
We Educate
Grief trainings, workshops, and community presentations for schools, businesses, churches, and organizations across Bucks County.
Who we serve
For individuals: children 3 and up, teens, and adults; couples and families.
Every age
Teens and young adults belong here, too.
We walk beside children as young as three, teenagers, adults, and older adults — meeting each person where they are, with care shaped for their age and their story.
Nearly 2.5 million
children under the age of 18 will lose one or both parents.
With support, children can thrive
When children learn healthy coping skills early, they can name their feelings, know they are supported, and face future challenges with resilience. That hopeful work is what we do every day — and it begins with one conversation.
Simple, honest information about cost
We’re a private-pay provider and don’t bill insurance — but we keep care accessible with a sliding scale, a low-cost summer camp, and an honest conversation about funding at intake. Cost should never stop you from reaching out.
