At Adam’s House we believe every child should never grieve in isolation.
Each child deserves a supportive and understanding community to learn and explore their feelings of loss. All grief journeys are unique. Grief is a natural reaction to a loss of a loved one. We strive for children to understand their complex grief feelings, increase resiliency and boost their self-esteem while they create their new normal.
A Safe, Healing Place
Adam’s House is a safe, healing place for families as they go through their 8-week grief journey. Here, children and their families will gather to draw support from their peers and gain new strategies for dealing with their loss. We support children struggling with any type loss- parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt/uncle or friend. All programs are offered at NO-COST to participating families. Ultimately, our goal is to empower our program participants to cope with their loss so they may live their lives to the fullest.

Talks about the “Helping Hearts Heal” program
“Adam’s House has been an absolute God send to us as we deal with our grief. It is like a refugee camp for those of us whose lives have been shattered by a loved one’s death. They offer comfort, hope, resources and connection.”
“The activities for the kids were amazing. My children have a vocabulary and a positive way to communicate after the program. I don’t know how I would help my children without Adam’s house program. Thank you so much!!!”
“I started drinking, because the pain was so bad I thought I was in a horrible nightmare that I could not wake up from. Adam house helped me stop drinking, realizing drinking is another add-on problem making the situation worst.”
“I was taught to put on my oxygen mask so I can help my son. We were so numb before but now enjoy mountain biking again (we use d to do it as a family), we can talk about our loved one and laugh about the good times we had.”
