McClean Fletcher Center
McClean Fletcher Center, not for profit, is the first and only grief support program in Mississippi, offering a supportive, nurturing environment to grieving children and teens, ages 4-18, after the loss of a loved one or special person in their lives.
They are offered a safe place in peer support groups where they can interact with others who have experienced similar losses, learn lifelong coping skills, and, most importantly, begin a healthy healing process.
