Wolfsträne e.V.

Wolfsträne e.V. is a non-profit organization founded in March 2017 to support grieving children and adolescents in Leipzig and the surrounding area. Our goal is to provide these young people with a safe space, time, and support to process their grief after the loss of a parent or a sibling.

• Individual Grief Support: We offer personal support and assistance for children and adolescents who have lost a loved one. Our team, consisting of experienced and empathetic staff, accompanies the young people on their journey through grief[4][5].
• Workshops and Lectures: In addition to individual support, we also offer workshops and lectures for adults on the topic of children's grief. These events aim to improve understanding and ways of dealing with grieving children[3][4].
• Holiday Trips and Community Activities: We organize holiday trips and other community activities that allow young people to process their grief in a supportive community while also gathering positive experiences[1][4].

Our main mission is to provide grieving children and adolescents with a protected and trusting environment in which they can express and process their feelings. We are committed to ensuring that these young people receive the necessary support and stability they need during such a difficult time.

Our values are based on empathy, trust, and a deep connection to the needs of grieving children and adolescents. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable and understood[3][4].

• Long-term Support: We work to build long-term relationships with grieving children and adolescents to ensure continuous support and guidance[4].
• Community Building: By organizing community activities and holiday trips, we promote the development of a supportive community where young people do not feel alone and are understood by others who have had similar experiences[1][4].
• Training and Education: Through workshops and lectures, we contribute to raising awareness of the needs of grieving children and adolescents in the public and among professionals[3][4].

Wolfsträne e.V. is committed to having a sustainable and positive impact on the lives of grieving children and adolescents by providing them with the necessary support and stability to overcome their grief and lead a fulfilling life.
