Building On Hope
To continue keeping our doors open to everyone in need, last year we launched BUILDING ON HOPE, a 3-year campaign to purchase and rehab the house next door. Click below to find out how you can help.
Volunteers Needed
We are always looking for individuals or groups to help with maintenance and projects around our "charming little houses on Grand."
The Center is also adding to its volunteer base through helpers with fundraising events, clerical support, marketing, and fundraising. Please contact us with ways you can help.
Children's Services
Individual, family, and group therapy is offered to children and adolescents who have experienced a significant loss due to death or other life experiences. Therapy is provided by grief therapists or graduate student interns.

How We Can Help Our Children
Acknowledge the losses, normalize the feelings, reframe the responses, listen openly, accept your limitations, help the child gather facts, help the child discuss the changes that accompany the loss, explore his/her grief in different ways, determine the child's support system. All of these things can be helpful in reaching a better understanding of how we can help our children.
The Center's professional staff is very experienced with specialized education and training in the most current methods.
