Kids' Clubhouse Mission Statement:
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.

The long awaited public installation of ceramic birds made by children and youth in the Kids' Clubhouse program
took place in late August, and a festive dedication of the birds and their neighboring creatures in the St. Louis Floodwall sculpture was held Saturday,
September 20, 2003.
The celebration serveds as a 10th Anniversary observance for Kids' Clubhouse, marking a decade of bereavement counseling services to St. Louis-area
children and youth.
The birds are in the northernmost section of "Reflecting on a River," a 150-foot-long mural by St. Louis sculptor Catharine Magel. The mural's theme is
Missouri wildlife and conservation. Beginning at the southern end, just north of Laclede's Landing, the mural flows from panel to panel, depicting microscopic
life, fish and reeds, nocturnal creatures, fossil-laden earth, butterflies and finally the Kids' Clubhouse birds, which lift and soar
skyward toward the north along the Missouri riverbank.
