Beckner said one of her goals is to
help other hospices replicate
aspects of the HopeWest Kids
program. She said she receives
regular 'how-to?' calls from other
areas. She and other HopeWest
Kids counselors have presented
information about the program at
regional and national conferences.
Kylie Babeon, now a high school
sophomore, has become part of
that effort to spread the word as
well as the programs.
difficulty with school work before
they came to group, 168 said that
group participation helped them
pay attention in class. School
counselors reported 100 percent of
students who attended groups
demonstrated an ability to use
positive coping skills.
Training for all these methods of
bereavement support has become
an important part of HopeWest
Kids. Volunteers commit to
extensive training. Staff members
receive ongoing education in the
specifics of how youngsters' grief
differs from that of adults.
Counselors become experts in
youth developmental stages, factors
that influence grief, complications
of death, grief models, family
norms and effective
communication methods.
HopeWest Kids counselors and
administrators are also working to
spread their training to the
community. They hold grief
training for those who deal with
kids in health and human services,

in medical offices, in schools, in
the corrections system, and also
within the overall hospice system.
As extensive as the HopeWest Kids
programs are, there are still needed
expansions. DiPaola and Beckner
said HopeWest Kids wants to
expand to include additional
"anticipatory services." That means
working with youngsters prior to a
death to help prepare them. That
expansion could include teaming
up with hospital oncology units
and becoming more involved at
schools when counselors know
that students are facing the death
of someone close to them.
"Providing counseling services
prior to a death can help a family
go through it together," Beckner
said. "It can also help children
and youths feel more in control of
the circumstances, right down to
the details of deciding how they
want to be notified of an illness or
an imminent death while they are
in school."

Besides helping at HopeWest Kids,
she has been working with school
administrators to find ways to
combat a high suicide rate in her
area - deaths that often have a
profound effect on a large part of
student populations. Babeon has
started an open forum in her
school where anyone having
problems can receive emotional
support.
"Loss is a hard thing," Babeon
said. "But knowing about grief and
how to deal with it is a very
powerful thing. To go through
grief with the help of HopeWest
Kids has helped me become the
person I am."
