The Children's Room caring support for grieving children teens and families Revenue and Competitors

The Children’s Room is the leading independent, non-profit organization in Massachusetts dedicated to creating safe, supportive communities so that no child, teen, or family has to grieve alone. Our services include: GRIEF SUPPORT SERVICES – Peer support groups (free of charge): Families come together bi-weekly for peer support groups at our Arlington center. Children and teens meet with others their age who have also lost a parent or sibling, and their parents or caregivers meet at the same time in adult support groups. TCR also offers peer support groups in area schools and community organizations (including Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston), enabling us to reach children who would not otherwise be able to access grief support services. Parenting While Grieving series (free of charge): This eight-week, interactive series is offered twice a year to bereaved parents/caregivers. Participants explore the impact of loss on children, their developmental reactions to the grief process, and strategies for dealing with the challenges of parenting while grieving. Monthly Family Night (free of charge): Our monthly arts-based family nights are an opportunity for grieving families to come together for a creative, family-centered activity and to make connection with other families in the community. Adult consultations: Professional staff are available to meet with parents and other supporting adults to discuss a family’s unique needs during the grieving process or in the case of a life-limiting illness. EDUCATION & OUTREACH SERVICES – We provide educational workshops, trainings and consultations about grief and loss to teachers, counselors, and others working with children, teens, young adults, and families. INFORMATION & REFERRALS – TCR provides information and referrals to families and professionals looking for additional grief-related services in their area.
