Mission and Purpose—
The mission of The WARM Place is to provide year-round grief support services to children ages 3 ½ to 18 and their families, as well as young adults ages 19 to 25, who have experienced the death of a loved one. Our program is designed to provide children and their families with the support and companionship they need to work through their intense feelings of grief after the devastating death of a mother, father, sister, brother, grandparent, or other loved one. We believe that no child should ever have to grieve alone.
Services—
The WARM Place provides peer-support groups for children and their families after the death of a loved one. Our program, led by trained volunteers, provides a safe environment for children to express feelings and emotions as well as the opportunity to meet with children and families who are experiencing situations similar to their own. During group sessions, our volunteers lead discussions and direct activities designed to teach coping skills and help participants express their emotions constructively. Families are never charged a fee for our services, there are no geographical limitations, and no time limits—families are welcome to participate as long as the children are receiving benefit from the program.
