WHAT WE DO

Gerard’s House is a safe place for grieving children, teens and families, where healing happens through acceptance and peer support.

The Gerard’s House program provides an important safety net for bereaved families and over the years has had a lasting, positive impact on the Santa Fe community. Since 1997, we have helped more than 4,000 children and youth regain hope, stabilize physically and psychologically, and restore sustaining relationships with family and friends in the face of serious loss. We are the only organization in northern New Mexico providing free, long-term grief support to children and “parenting in grief” support to their families.

Gerard’s House offers free peer-based grief support for children and youth, ages 3-21, who have experienced the death of a close family member or friend and those living with family members experiencing life-threatening illnesses. We also provide crisis response and grief support to schools and other youth communities, and grief education for children, youth and adults. Our programs honor the rich mix of faiths and cultures in north-central New Mexico.

We are located in Santa Fe.
