The 6 C’s (6 Common Concerns) of Children’s Grief
• What is it called?
• Did I cause it?
• Can I catch it?
• Can I cure it?
• Who will take care of me?
• How will I stay connected?
At AWC, the Six C’s hold two important meanings. The first is our core values at AWC Grief Support. The second is the Six Common Concerns children often have when someone they care about is dying, has died, or when a child is facing their own life-limiting illness. Whether we are supporting an individual family or educating hundreds of professionals, understanding how to address and respond to these concerns is a cornerstone of our teaching.
At AWC, our work is guided by six core values: Care, Connection, Compassion, Collaboration, Community, and Clinical Excellence. We believe the hardest experiences in life—especially grief—are not meant to be navigated alone. That’s why connection and compassion sit at the heart of our therapy work. Knowing how lonely grief can be, we also intentionally create spaces where people can find understanding, shared experience, and a sense of community.
Our practice itself was built on the belief that we can do more together than we ever could individually. As a group practice, we collaborate not only with the individuals we serve and with other professionals and organizations in the community, but also with one another—supporting each other as clinicians so we can show up fully for the people we care for. Grounded in compassion and a commitment to clinical excellence, we strive to offer grief care that is both deeply human and clinically skilled.
We put care first. This practice grew out of a deep caring for people who are grieving. Every interaction is thoughtful and grounded in respect—with the intention of helping people feel safe and supported from the moment they reach out.
Compassion is the heart of our practice. We listen closely, respond with care, and strive to help every person feel truly seen, heard, and met exactly where they are.
We bring skill, training, and literature-informed practices to every therapy session, presentation and resource. Competence and care go hand in hand.
Grief is not meant to be carried alone. We create spaces—virtually, in person, and in communities—where people can connect, learn, and support one another.
We work alongside individuals, families, and organizations. Grief is complex, and we believe we can do more together than any of us can alone. The best support comes from combining perspectives, knowledge, and shared effort.
Healing happens in relationship. From therapy sessions to workshops, retreats, and partnerships, we create spaces where people can connect, reducing the isolation that often accompanies grief while strengthening resilience, belonging, and mutual support.
