The WARM Place provides peer support groups for children and their families after the death of a loved one. For 35 years, The WARM Place has companioned over 48,000 children and family members along their grief journeys. Currently, 398 families, which includes 556 children, participate in the in-person and virtual peer support groups, with an additional 100+ children on the waitlist ready to receive services. There is never a fee for services, no geographical limitations on service area, and no time limits--families are welcome to participate as long as they feel they are benefiting from the program.
We also provide supplemental opportunities to support children and families with grief. Like our peer support groups, all additional program offerings are provided at no cost to the families enrolled. Click on the What Else tab to learn more!

Did you know that in Texas, 1 in 13 children will become bereaved due to the death of a parent or sibling by age 18? (Children's Bereavement Estimation Model). Experiencing a significant death during childhood often results in profound stress and adversity that can derail a child's development without appropriate support. This is the impact of grief in a child's life, and this is why The WARM Place exists - to help children navigate the difficult emotions that accompany grief and give them the tools they need.
Since 1989, we have served over 48,000 children and family members and have never once asked any clients to pay a fee while in the program. The WARM Place is supported solely through private donations and grants, and the Board of Directors and staff are dedicated to pursuing the necessary funds to sustain our unique program as it fills a critical need in the community.
