Product Specs

Guardian Lane has created the largest library of expert-led, creative therapy projects designed specifically for grieving children. Our on-demand videos give school staff immediate, in-person tools to support students when grief surfaces unexpectedly. Eliminating the wait for external counselors or limited-time specialists. These art, writing, movement and storytelling projects are available at the moment they're needed most, helping children feel supported, not sidelined. At home, families who struggle to talk about their grief can use our guided prompts and creative activities to open up hard conversations and begin to heal together. Guardian Lane is shifting grief support from occasional and reactive to accessible and empowering, wherever youth are.
