"Grief Support for Children, Teens, and their Families"
...where healing happens.
Who we are…
Gerard’s House was started in the fall of 1997 by a group of bereaved parents who were attending a grief support group at Berardinelli’s Mortuary led by Sister Arlene. Many of the parents had teenage children who had died in the previous year. They realized that the siblings and friends of the teens who had died did not have a place to receive support.
Join a Group
Prior to attending any group, it is required that an orientation becompleted to become familiar with Gerard’s House. Different ages meet at different times. Children between the ages of 3 and 6 meet on Mondays at 4:00; seven to 10 year olds meet on Tuesday at 4:00pm; eleven to 14 year olds meet on Wednesdays at 6:30, and fifteen to 21 year olds meet on Thursday at 7:30pm.
