Willow Center for Grieving Children

At Willow Center, we are a non-profit, charitable organization, that provides supports groups and resources for children and teens free of charge. Our program is designed to provide a caring, accepting environment that greatly enriches the healing process by allowing children and families to share their grief with others who have had comparable loss.

The support groups at Willow Center are coordinated by behavioral health professionals and trained volunteers and currently meet twice a month - year round. Groups are delineated by age with concurrent support groups available for the adult caregivers/parents of the children that are attending. Upon referral to the center, an intake appointment is scheduled to get information about the child(ren), family, circumstances of the death, and to provide information/details about the program.

We currently serve the Lewis and Clark Valley and surrounding areas, but also have families coming from around the region, including: Pullman, Orofino, Cottonwood, and even as far away as Riggins. Willow Center is the only organization between Boise and Spokane that is dedicated to serving the needs of grieving children, teens and their families in a free of charge, on-going open ended, support group format modeled on best practices and the assumption no two children grieve the same
