At Brooke's Place, children learn to honor and cherish the loved ones that they carry in their heart. Through peer support groups and therapy services (individual/family counseling), children learn they are not alone. Together, they learn to recognize, express and embrace their thoughts, questions and feelings about grief and loss. We provide caring programs to support grieving children and their families in a safe and confidential atmosphere. Brooke's Place is built on these principles: Grief is a natural reaction to the death of a loved one for young people as well as adults. Within each individual is the natural capacity to heal oneself. The duration and intensity of grief are unique for each individual caring and acceptance assists in the healing process. Our caring programs provide hope, help and healing by giving individuals a safe place to grieve.
