SLAP’D aspires to provide teens who have lost a parent with an online community of support to help ensure that they are not alone, to inspire hope, and to provide them with important resources throughout the grieving process.
While the internet is full of self-help websites for those who are grieving, these resources often provide only a single page of advice on parent death if any, and are not targeted or accessible to kids and teens. Additionally, they also lack opportunities for people in similar situations to connect and access helpful resources in their vicinity. Teens need a place where they can go, find resources, share their experiences, and realize that while their stories are unique, their situations are not – SLAP’D aims to provide that community.
