Valerie's House is committed to assisting the schools in their communities to help their grieving children. No child should have to grieve alone, and with our partnership, they won't have to.

If your school has been touched by death, whether it be the loss of a student or faculty member, and you need extra support and knowledge on how to help your grieving students, Valerie's House is here to help.

  • Grief Presentations: We offer a 30-45 minute presentation to provide education and support to the faculty and staff of elementary, middle & high schools.
    It is most helpful when the school provides a projector and screen for the presentation.

Arrange a Presentation at Your School

We are happy to come to share our grief support to help your faculty and staff. 

  • Refer a child to Valerie's House: Schools may refer a family to Valerie's House after a student has experienced the death of a parent or sibling. The children and teens will join a peer support group, while their caregiver also attends a support group with other caregivers. Groups include peer-to-peer support, creative projects, books, music, and journaling.
