Family members often deal with the loss of a loved one in different ways. Grief can draw families closer together. Sometimes, it can pull them apart.
At Jovonne’s Healing Center we help families navigate the grieving process as a unit - to be sure they draw closer together in the end.
Programs for Children.
Modeled after our two-week summer camp, children receive access to professional counseling, opportunities to learn new skills, and exciting new experiences. All, at no cost.
Monthly In-Person Meetings for Children in Chester.
Every third Wednesday of the month, we welcome children from across the community who are coping with the loss of a loved one. During the hour-long session, children engage in enjoyable, thoughtfully designed activities aimed at supporting their healing journey. Whenever possible, we also provide special off-site experiences to offer them moments of pure fun and joy.
Join our next session on April 16, 2025 at 6:00 pm.
Our sessions take place at:
Access: Chester Community Center | 701 Booth St., Chester, PA 19013
Support for Adults.
Twice-Monthly Online Meetings.
We understand that sometimes life can get in the way of grieving. That is why we offer all of our support meetings exclusively online. Under the supervision of professionals, adults are afforded the opportunity to share how they are dealing with their grief as well as receive helpful tips on how to continue to navigate the process.

Meet Jovonne
The sister of our organization’s namesake, Jovonne, has first-hand experience when it comes to dealing with grief. Losing a loved one is a devastating and beyond-words overwhelming and traumatizing experience for a young person to go through. Being 23 years old - at the time of Will’s passing - Jovonne had a lot to process, and it was challenging for the family to find the best ways to be there for her while also being overwhelmed with their grief. It was through this challenge that Jovonne’s Healing Center came into existence.
