Anti-Bullying Family Retreats
A Place to Be Heard, Find Strength, & Remember You Are Not Alone
At My Lil Piece of Heaven, we believe no child or family should have to navigate bullying alone.
Bullying affects far more than the person being bullied. It can touch parents, siblings, friendships, school life, self-esteem and the entire family. And behind a child who bullies others, there may also be struggles, emotions and circumstances that need to be understood.
Our Anti-Bullying Family Retreats were created to provide a safe, compassionate place where families can step away from the pressures of everyday life, connect with others and begin finding their way forward.
Two Different Retreats, One Common Goal
Our program has two separate retreat experiences.
For Children & Families Experiencing Bullying
These retreats are designed for children and teens who have experienced bullying and the families walking beside them.
Our goal is simple: We want you to feel heard.
Families will have opportunities to talk, connect, learn and discover practical tools for coping with bullying while rebuilding confidence and self-esteem.
Licensed therapists will be available on-site during the retreat to provide professional support and help families navigate the difficult emotions and circumstances that bullying can create.
Most importantly, we want young people to leave knowing:
You matter. Your voice matters. You are not alone.
For Children Who Bully & Their Families
We also believe that simply labeling a child a “bully” does not solve the problem.
On completely separate retreat dates, we welcome children and teens who have struggled with bullying behaviors and their families.
These retreats are not about shame or punishment. They are about understanding.
With licensed therapists available on-site, families can explore what may be underneath the behavior, learn healthier ways of communicating and handling difficult emotions, develop empathy, and begin building better relationships.
Every child deserves an opportunity to learn, grow and make different choices.
A Place Where ‘Different’ is Celebrated
Children and families come in all shapes, sizes, personalities and abilities… and we wouldn’t want it any other way!
Neurodivergent children and adults are welcome here, including individuals special needs.
We want families who may sometimes feel as though they have to explain themselves, apologize, or fit into someone else’s idea of “normal,” to know that they can simply come as they are.
We will do our best to create an environment built around compassion, patience, dignity and respect.
Healing Doesn’t Have to Feel Like Work
Some of the most powerful healing happens while people are laughing.
Our retreats include fun, confidence-building activities designed to encourage connection, teamwork, creativity and self-esteem.
There will be opportunities to play, explore nature, sit around the fire, laugh, make memories and simply enjoy being together.
There is no expectation of having the “perfect family weekend.”
Come with the messy hair.
Come with the tired parents.
Come with the kid who needs a quiet minute.
Come with the family that has been holding everything together for too long.
Parents need support too.
Sometimes the greatest gift we can give a parent is the opportunity to look around and realize:
“I’m not the only one going through this.”
Finding Your Community
One of our greatest hopes is that families leave with more than tools and memories.
We hope they leave with community.
A group of people who understand.
People who listen without judgment.
People who celebrate one another’s victories and understand the difficult days.
Bullying can make a person feel isolated. Community reminds us that we belong.
Come exactly as you are.
Bring your story.
Bring your family.
Bring your worries, your laughter and your hope.
You don’t have to walk through this alone.
Come as Friends. Leave as Family.
