Grief Support Groups for Children, Teens & Families

At Joel’s Place, we provide peer grief support groups for school-aged children and their families who have experienced the death of someone special in their lives.

If your family or someone you know is in need of support, please reach out to us at 440-248-4412.

Children and teens at Joel’s Place for Children can express feelings, share memories, and honor their loved one(s) in a supportive and hope-filled environment with peers who have also experienced the death of someone special. We also offer a support group for the adults who bring children to Joel’s Place. We have been supporting grieving children and their families in the Greater Cleveland area since 2003.

Our children and adult grief support groups typically meet every other Tuesday from 6:30-8:15pm at Bay Presbyterian Church in Bay Village. The night begins with a family dinner at 6:30 PM, followed by the group meetings from 7:00 – 8:15 PM.
