THE TRADITION PROGRAM PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTENTIONAL REMEMBERING, A SAFE HAVEN FOR GRIEF, COMMUNICATION AND CELEBRATION. true true 150789 THE TRADITION PROGRAM IS GROUNDED IN RESEARCH AND SUPPORTS A NUMBER OF CLINICALLY IDENTIFIED NEEDS IN BEREAVED CHILDREN. IT IS A THERAPEUTIC TOOL, ALLOWING THE RITUAL OF THE TRADITION TO PROVIDE STRUCTURE AND ROUTE TO THE CHAOS OF LIFE IMPAIRED BY LOSS. ENGAGING IN A RITUAL ASSISTS WITH MITIGATING GRIEF AND CAN HELP RESTORE FEELINGS OF CONTROL. THE TRADITION PROGRAM IS FAMILY BASED RATHER THAN SUPPORT GROUP ORIENTED AND IS DIRECTED BY THE CHILD - TRULY DESIGNED TO BE CHILD-FOCUSED. TRADITIONS ENCOURAGE CHILDREN TO MAINTAIN A CONTINUING AND EMOTIONAL CONNECTION WITH THE PARENT WHO HAS DIED, PROVIDING FOR A MORE NATURAL CONTEXT TO TALK ABOUT THE PERSON WHO HAS DIED. THE PRACTICE OF THE TRADITION FOSTERS RESILIENCY AND POST TRAUMATIC GROWTH AND ENGAGES THE CHILD ACTIVELY IN A NON-THREATENING, COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT TO HELP MOVE A CHILD THROUGH GRIEF INTO HEALING. THE AVERAGE CHILD REMAINS IN THE PROGRAM FOR 7.2 YEARS SO THE LONGEVITY AND CONTINUITY NURTURES AND SUSTAINS FAMILY CONNECTIONS THROUGHOUT THE CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT, ASSISTING THEM TO ADAPT TO THE DEATH OF THEIR PARENT. TRAINED VOLUNTEERS WORK WITH CHILDREN TO IDENTIFY A TRADITION THEY SHARED WITH THEIR MOTHER OR FATHER, AND THAT THEY WANT TO CONTINUE. VOLUNTEERS ENGAGE THE CHILD AND FAMILY IN A CHILD-FOCUSED MANNER. EACH ELIGIBLE CHILD, INCLUDING MULTIPLE SIBLINGS IN A SINGLE FAMILY, IS ENCOURAGED TO ARTICULATE HIS OR HER OWN TRADITION. CURRENTLY SERVED CHILDREN HAVE CHOSEN ACTIVITIES SUCH AS GOING TO THE ZOO, MOVIE THEATER OR TO VISIT GRANDMA; BAKING COOKIES, MUFFINS AND CAKES; BACK-TO-SCHOOL SHOPPING; AND PLANTING FLOWERS. FAMILY LIVES ON THEN PROVIDES THE LOGISTICAL AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR THE FAMILY AND CHILD'S ANNUAL PARTICIPATION IN THE REQUESTED TRADITION EACH YEAR UNTIL THE CHILD REACHES THE AGE OF 18. 86288 OUTREACH AND EDUCATION: THE PURPOSE OF OUR OUTREACH AND EDUCATION MATERIAL IS TO COMMUNICATE THE MISSION AND PURPOSE OF FAMILY LIVES ON. THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT AND PRESENTATION OF WORKSHOPS, SEMINARS, BROCHURES AND NEWS ARTICLES WE ARE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE THE IMPACT OF GRIEF UPON A CHILD, HOW THAT DIFFERS FROM THAT OF AN ADULT, AND CLINICALLY IDENTIFIED NEEDS IN BEREAVED CHILDREN. LIKE OUR WEBSITE AND OUR BLOG, OUR MATERIALS ALSO EDUCATE AUDIENCES ON THE IMPORTANCE OF SUPPORTING GRIEVING CHILDREN. TO DATE, MORE THAN 40,000 SCHOOL COUNSELORS, BEREAVEMENT PROFESSIONALS, FUNERAL DIRECTORS, RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS HAVE RECEIVED MATERIALS SUPPORTING CHILDREN IN GRIEF. 237077 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 8 true false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true false true true false PA NJ X X THE ORGANIZATION 6104581690 411 EAGLEVIEW BLVD SUITE 110 EXTON PA 19341 CHRISTINE CAVALIERI EXEC DIRECTO 60.00 X 62000 0 833 MILDRED ELROD COO 30.00 X X 15150 0 1076 LAURA MUNTS DIRECTOR 3.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL DOYLE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 J WILLIAM WIDING III ESQ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANNA HILLMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SANDRA D'AMICO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARLYSE FANT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELLEN LANGAS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE MAHER TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DONNA PHILLIPS SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 NICK CACCHIONE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DIANE CHARLTON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DARCIE SIMS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER ROBINSON PRESIDENT 15.00 X X 0 0 0 JAMES TERRY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 VALARIE DARLING DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS GUBANICH DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL HARRINGTON DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 LISA FERRIE KENNEDY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 77150 1909 false false false 10778 120300 11586 131078 466 466 280032 10778 98723 181309 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 624100 273 273 273 313126 739 79059 56423 6928 15708 110843 77667 4686 28490 3877 2929 128 820 14824 10488 836 3500 4668 2724 464 1480 10601 7632 743 2226 896 645 63 188 6848 4720 526 1602 4111 3125 239 747 16762 12066 1198 3498 5836 3999 1143 694 2092 1507 146 439 DIRECT SERVICES 33124 33124 OUTREACH 12742 12642 100 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS 11896 5057 333 6506 BANK SERVICE CHARGES 5592 5592 14833 2329 133 12371 338604 237077 23258 78269 260935 240735 56684 57015 20 4455 1929 125 126 322219 299805 3057 6122 3057 6122 X 288930 285518 30232 8165 319162 293683 322219 299805 -25478 -1 X false true X true false X 188500 189279 202402 179605 131078 890864 188500 189279 202402 179605 131078 890864 228516 662348 2699 1297 1197 725 5918 896782 280771 0.73860 0.73360 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 325084 10000 1958 11958 313126 313126 350563 10000 1959 11959 338604 338604 SCHEDULE D, PAGE 3, PART X THE ORGANIZATION FOLLOWS ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CODIFICATION ("ASC")740, WHICH CLARIFIES THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES RECOGNIZED IN AN ENTERPRISE'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

WITH THE USE OF SKYPE WE ARE ABLE TO SERVE MORE FAMILIES IN LESS TIME AND CHILDREN FEEL SAFER SHARING THEIR FEELINGS WITH A SCREEN BARRIER IN PLACE. THROUGH NEW SOFTWARE, WE HAVE SIMPLIFIED CUMBERSOME SCHEDULING TASKS. AS A RESULT, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED RECORD- BREAKING ENROLLMENT ONE MONTH AFTER IMPLEMENTING ONLINE, MOBILE-READY ENROLLMENT FORMS.
