A Place for Kids and their Families to Heal

According to the recently released Childhood Bereavement Estimation Model (CBEM), an estimated 1 out of 14 children in the U.S. will experience the death of a parent or sibling before they reach the age of 18. Over 4.9 million children in the U.S. will experience the death of a parent or sibling before they reach adulthood—and this number more than doubles by age 25, to 12.8 million. Childhood bereavement is a prevalent and critical public health issue that can have a profound impact on future wellbeing but has long been overlooked.

The Grief & Loss Center is committed to providing no cost grief support to kindergartners through high school seniors through monthly in person groups. Families from our community and other parts of the metroplex turn to SAM's (Same As Me) to find the emotional support they need after the death of someone special in their lives.

If your child is in need of support, please contact us today at 214-452-3105. We can help you and your children begin the journey toward healing.

Individual sessions may be available to children and teens in some cases. These sessions are provided according to our availability and the needs of the child/teen.
