The Bereavement Center of Westchester

Provider Type: Social Workers, Support Group Facilitators

Address: 670 White Plains Road, Scarsdale, NY 10583

Specialties: Individual counseling and support groups for children and adults who are grieving the loss of a family member. Since 1995 The Tree House, a cornerstone of the Bereavement Center of Westchester, has provided a safe place for children who are grieving the loss of a parent or sibling. The Tree House was one of the first grief centers in the US created solely for children and their families.

We now offer a range of adult bereavement services, individual counseling, school and community crisis support and outreach to better support a range of bereavement needs. Adult groups include Support After Suicide Group, Child Loss Group, Parent / Sibling Loss Group, Spousal / Partner Loss Group, Maggie Rose Perinatal Loss Group, and Healing After Substance Passing (HASP) Group.

Approaches: The Tree House was created to be a place of comfort and healing specifically for families with children that have experienced the death of a parent or sibling. We offer peer support groups designed for children (ages four to eighteen), as well as a separate group for the parent(s) or guardian(s).

The goal of the Tree House program is to bring families together as they go through the process of grieving. This program creates a safe and caring environment where both adult and child receive the special attention needed to move through the pain of grief toward hope and healing.
