  Canary Garden

  Canary Garden is a nonprofit organization providing support for children and adolescents who are grieving the death of a family member. The weekly support groups for all ages offer a safe, comfortable environment. By sharing their grief experiences with other young people, children and teenagers are better able to resolve their grief and move forward in the healing process. Kids On the Move is honored to host Canary Garden groups weekly at our Orem center.
