Kenny Slaught notes that Hospice of Santa Barbara provides a wide range of services benefitting individuals facing terminal and chronic illness, as well as their families. Several of the programs at the organization serve the needs of children as they struggle with the impending or recent passing of a loved one. As 20 percent of children experience the death of a loved one before they turn 18, the services are incredibly beneficial. One in 20 children must face the loss of one or both parents before they reach adulthood. Hospice of Santa Barbara upholds its mission to provide individuals in these scenarios with donation-based support through the following programs. This support helps individuals process grief to offset depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Kenny Slaught explains that “When children lose a loved one, it can feel like their lives will never be the same again. Their grief may seem insurmountable. The I Have a Friend mentor program, to help combat this situation, pairs children and adolescents with a trained adult volunteer who experienced a similar loss at a young age. This volunteer becomes an admired and respected companion throughout the grief process and provides a truly sympathetic friend. The program’s resulting relationships often become indispensable as the children continue to face hurdles for several years.
