Working with children, teens and adults who are grieving the death of a loved one takes a village. Some of us work directly with our clients. Others work behind the scenes. Others provide financial support making it possible for us to continue our work. Did you know that our services are free of charge and that we rely on donations to keep our doors open?
North Texas Giving Day (NTXGD) is an 18-hour online event designed to empower every person to give back to their community by supporting local nonprofits and causes they care about in one easy-to-use platform. We are honored to be one of the approved nonprofits to participate in this amazing event. NTXGD actually happens on Thursday, September 21st, but donations can be given starting September 1st. Make your donation today.
When you donate to the Grief and Loss Center you truly make a difference in lives of scores of children, teens and adults. You touch lives through each and every one of our programs.
Kindergartners through high school seniors grieving the death of a parent, sibling, or other loved one come to SAM’s (Same As Me) each month to be with others their age who have also experienced the death of someone special. They discover they are not alone as they share their stories and process their grief through activities and group times especially designed for their age group. As they meet, their parents and guardians join together to learn how to best support them and to share their own stories.
Our adult groups provide emotional support and a better understanding of grief to over a hundred adults each month. We offer three groups designed for parents who have experienced the death of a child – Child Loss, Senior Adult Moms and Child Loss by Suicide. Three groups are offered for Spouse/Partner Loss including one for young/median adults, one for older adults and one for senior adults. Young adults through the age of 35 find support in our Young Adult Group while median and older adults attend our Family and Friends Group. Our Homicide Group provides support to loved ones of those who died by homicide. In addition to the group, we also attend the trials with them whenever possible to provide additional support.
Almost 80% of the 3000+ clients we’ve served since the 2011 inception of the Center are underserved and would not have access to grief support without your financial gifts. We humbly ask that you become part of our village by making a financial contribution to the Grief and Loss Center during North Texas Giving Day. If you aren’t comfortable making an online donation, you are welcome to send a check to the Grief and Loss Center of North Texas, 4316 Abrams Road, Dallas, TX 75214.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for joining our village. You are appreciated!
