Eles Place

Eles Place is a nonprofit, community-based organization with a mission to create awareness of and support for grieving children and families. Through peer support group programs, Eles Place helps children to cope with the death or life-threatening illness of a parent, sibling or other close family member or friend. Before coming to Eles Place, many grieving children feel alone and keep their feelings inside, not wanting to burden their parents or other family members. Often friends dont seem to understand if they havent had a similar experience. But each week at Eles Place, hundreds of grieving children find a warm and welcoming place to meet new friends who really understand how they feel. Some children learn how to cope with a family members illness, while others begin to heal after the death of a loved one
