A new campus organization, Elon Students of Ailing Mothers and Fathers, is being started, and I need dedicated student leaders to fill leadership roles within the organization.
This campus group utilizes peer-support, service, mentoring, and community outreach to help students cope with the psychological, social, spiritual, and academic difficulties associated with having a sick or deceased loved one. The organization provides support to grieving college students through four components: Support, Service, Angels, and SAINTS.
