The Childrens Rooms mission is to create safe, supportive communities so that no child, teen, or family has to grieve alone. We provide free, peer-based grief support to children, teens, and their caregivers following the death of a parent, child, or sibling. Services are offered at our Arlington center as well as in schools and community settings throughout eastern Massachusetts. Our programs include Peer Support Groups for children and teens ages 3 to 18 and their caregivers; grief support groups designed specifically for teens; psychoeducational series for parents and caregivers; arts-based family programs; professional education and training; information and referral services; and individual consultations. All services are offered at no cost, recognizing that grief and loss are often accompanied by financial hardship. During FY25, The Childrens Room served 675 children, teens, and adults through direct grief support programming, reached 968 professionals through training and consultation, partnered with 21 schools and community organizations to provide peer support to students, and responded to 602 information and referral inquiries from families and professionals.
