Gerard'S House

When a child's parent dies, there are usually many adults who want to help that child. But they don't know how. Children and teenagers who are grieving often don't know what they need, either. Forget about asking for that help. Their lives have been turned upside down, and, at the same time, so have their feelings and thoughts. That's where gerard's house comes in. We know how to help. In fact, whether a parent or other loved one has died, disappeared, been incarcerated, deported or separated by borders, we are here for kids, teenagers and their families. Our core service of peer grief support groups for youth ages 3-21 is stronger than ever, now expanded with new programs like nuestra jornada and the semicolon group. The 4 weekly groups gerard's house offered in 1997 have now grown to 20 weekly grief support groups for youth and 5 weekly grief support groups for adults.
