Practicum student Sarah Hanford joins Clubhouse
The Kids' Clubhouse team expands this fall with the addition of Washington University graduate student Sarah Hanford, who is performing a practicum.
Sarah will work with youngsters in the evening groups and at city schools. Hanford is in the second semester of her first year at the George Warren
Brown School of Social Work (GWB) at Washington University, pursuing a master's degree in social work. The program requires 400 hours of practicum
experience.
A native of Rochester, New York, Hanford holds a bachelor's degree in science and rehabilitation from Springfield College and a master's in child
life from Wheelock College, both in Massachusetts. She came to Washington University after seven and a half years on the staff of Philadelphia
Children's Hospital, where she helped prepare children for medical procedures.
Hanford plans to continue working with children, either in bereavement counseling or a hospital setting. She's enthusiastic about her Kids'
Clubhouse practicum, which she found through the GWB website. "It'll be a nice introduction to counseling grieving children, and helpful to
see how Päivi and Maureen work," she said of executive Director Päivi Tetri and Program Director Maureen Herr.
"I'm very excited."

To provide support to children and their parents as they cope with the death of someone special.
We provide a safe place for children and their families to share their experiences and move toward
healing.
At the Kids' Clubhouse, we believe: Grief is a normal reaction to the death of a loved one for
children as well as adults. People of all ages experience grief in unique ways. The duration and intensity of
grief may be different for each person. A safe, supportive environment can enhance the healing process.
