Footsteps
Drawing From Experience
Footsteps, an expansion program of Saint Agnes Home Health and Hospice, has been supporting children and teens who have experienced a loss or change for more than 25 years. Its home grown, award-winning, expressive arts curriculum offers a healing bridge for communication among children, parents, grandparents and foster parents whose families are on the unpredictable passageway of grief.
