eCondolence.com and Children’s Bereavement Center Announce Partnership to Provide Immediate and LongTerm Support to Grieving Individuals and Families
Premier condolence website proudly announces partnership with the Children’s Bereavement Center, helps address both immediate and long-term aspects of grief, loss, and coping.
MIAMI, FL (PRWEB) OCTOBER 15, 2015
Bereavement and condolence website eCondolence.com announced
this week that it has partnered with the Children’s Bereavement
Center (“CBC”), a Miami-based non-profit organization.
eCondolence.com’s vast learning center resources and planning tools will complement the
CBC’s long-term peer support groups. eCondolence.com will help address the immediate
need, while the Children’s Bereavement Center provides free Peer Support Groups for
children, young adults, and adult caregivers after the death of a loved one. “We are excited
about our partnership with the Children’s Bereavement Center,” says Michael Schimmel, CEO
and founder of eCondolence.com, “they are a dedicated organization that shares our passion
for helping those in need, as well as our strong connection to the community in South Florida.”
The Children’s Bereavement Center specializes in long-term grief support for children and
families, and will provide this expertise and knowledge to help expand the learning center at
eCondolence.com. “Unfortunately, the loss of a loved one is a common occurrence for
children," remarked Mindy Cassel, CEO and Co-Founder of the CBC. "It’s estimated that 1 in 5
school aged children experiences the death of a family member or friend. Learning to adjust to
life, not 'get over it', can make the experience more acceptable. Finding support in others often
helps, especially for children. The CBC is one place that allows them to share, connect, and
feel part of a community after loss.”
For eCondolence.com, this partnership signifies its expanding network of both nonprofit and
corporate partner organizations who are seeking qualified resources on grief, loss, and
sympathy.

About the Children’s Bereavement Center
Founded in 1999 by two psychologists, Dr. Carol Berns and Dr. Mindy Cassel, the CBC was
created to fill a void in bereavement services for children and families. It is the only ongoing,
comprehensive bereavement center providing free Peer Support Groups to grieving children
and their families in South Florida. The CBC’s mission is to help children, young adults, and
their families adjust to life after the loss of a loved one within a supportive community of their
peers, and to promote healthful grief, healing and growth. The CBC currently holds 98 groups
per month throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties and is serving over 1,300 active
participants. The CBC does not engage in clinical therapy, instead utilizes a peer support
group model to enhance adjustment after a death.
