Eluna Care Packages for Children and Teens
Eluna Care Packages are thoughtfully assembled to provide comfort, emotional expression, and age-appropriate therapeutic support for children and teens navigating difficult family experiences. Each package is designed with care to meet youth where they are – developmentally and emotionally – so they feel seen, supported, and less alone.
Care Package Types
Eluna currently offers care packages for youth across three age groups:
Ages 2–9 | Ages 10–12 | Ages 13+
Care packages are available for youth experiencing:
- Grief following the loss of their person
- Substance misuse in the family
- Grieving the loss of their person to suicide
Each set of packages is intentionally designed to reflect the unique needs and experiences of youth at different ages and within each circumstance.

Each care package includes a custom combination of therapeutic and comfort items, selected to support emotional expression, regulation, and connection. Items may include:
- Backpack
- Stuffed animal or comfort item
- Poster
- Art & activity supplies
- Books
- Photo frame
- Candle or flashlight
Contents vary by age and experience to ensure developmentally appropriate support.
Additional Support Included
Every care package is accompanied by an Eluna Resource Center report, featuring:
