Adolescents and Young Adults
AYA West Michigan is a program of Children's Healing Center that was established by young adults facing life-changing and life-threatening diagnosis that were searching for meaningful connections with others walking similar journeys.
What We Do
Our program is for adolescents and young adults (AYA) 18 years of age and up. We provide programs with a focus on social experiences, healing, and developing supportive friendships.

We do sport outings, holiday parties, arts & craft lessons, game nights, support groups, coffee meet-ups, trivia nights, cook outs, pool days, life-coaching, healing workshops, and SO much more!

Get Involved
We love welcoming new members and getting to know others that the entire group can relate to in some way. It is so comforting and inspiring to be surrounded by people that just get it.

If you are interested in getting involved and hanging out with us,
please email Kelsey Sankovic at ksankovic@childrenshealingcenter.org

We cannot wait to meet you!
Virtual Programs

Although we are not holding any in-person gatherings at this time due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19, we have shifted to using the app ZOOM to stay connected with one another on a weekly basis.

Please reach out to me if you would like
to join us for a virtual hang out!
