In Texas, 1 in 16 children will become bereaved due to the death of a parent or sibling by age 18. That means at least one child in every classroom in Texas will be grieving the death of a parent or sibling.

The WARM Place is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) agency that provides peer-support groups for children and their families after the death of a loved one. Founded in 1989, The WARM Place has companioned over 40,000 children and their families along their grief journey. Their program, led by trained volunteers, provides a safe environment for children to express feelings and emotions as well as the opportunity to meet with children and families who are experiencing situations similar to their own.
