Kenny Slaught supports Hospice of Santa Barbara efforts to provide wide range of services, not only for those facing terminal and chronic illness, but also for their families. Many of the organization’s initiatives focus on the needs of children as they process the impending or recent passing of a family member. Around 20 percent of children suffer the death of a loved one prior to turning 18, and one in 20 children sees the loss of one or both parents before they reach adulthood. Hospice of Santa Barbara seeks to provide those in these scenarios with free mentorship through numerous programs. This support helps children cope with their grief to avoid or alleviate depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Kenny Slaught promotes Hospice of Santa Barbara because they maintain an active presence on local school campuses at all levels, from elementary school thru college. The program’s volunteers visit these schools to organize weekly support groups for youth who have experienced traumatic or stressful situations and require a safe place in which to process their thoughts and feelings. On-site services seek to build supportive atmospheres which encourage self-reflection and teach critical coping skills. Developed coping skills can help teenagers avoid drugs and alcohol, as well as additional forms of self-medicating. In addition to working directly with children, the hospice volunteers provide training services to faculty and staff members covering how to interact with students who are dealing with trauma and how to handle student questions about death, particularly violent deaths and suicide. All 65 campuses in the Hospice of Santa Barbara network depend on the Hospice around the clock to respond to a traumatic situation promptly and effectively.
