HIGHMARK CARING PLACE Tour
at the Warrendale site
The Highmark Caring Place, A Center for Grieving Children, Adolescents and Their Families, is a safe place where grieving children and families can come together and be with others who understand what they’re going through.
An essential community resource, the Caring Place offers services at no charge to grieving families from throughout the community.
The death of a family member is devastating in the life of a child, turning the child's whole world upside-down, and becoming the defining moment of the child's life.
Caring, understanding and support from those around the grieving child can make an important difference in how that child copes with the impact of a death.
It is the mission of the Highmark Caring Place:
- To raise awareness of the needs of grieving children
- To provide programs to address those needs
- To equip the community to support those children who have experienced the death of a loved one.
