Roberta's House provides trauma-informed care and addresses grief as a public health service. We believe all children, adults, and families suffering the loss or death of a loved one should have support and a safe place to heal and recover. Therefore, we provide a safe place and resource in the community to promote recovery and healing from losing a loved one, addressing grief as a public health preventive resource.

Through peer and non-clinical support, education, empowerment, and community awareness, Roberta's House offer free programs and services to school-age children, teens, and their families. The grief service focus on 1) those who have experienced the death of a loved one or someone special; 2) those who have family or friends that are survivors of homicide; 3) those living in high crime areas; and 4) those at risk of complicated grief reactions. The counseling programs are designed to restore children and their adult family members to a place of wholeness and provide support through the grieving process.

Roberta's House is in partnership and has received support from city and state grants, foundations, corporations, and community donors. This support has enabled Roberta's House to offer free community programs that address the unresolved grief that can lead to negative behavior and poor health later in the lives of children, teens, and adults. The programs are offered year-round to all ages.

Facing the worldwide pandemic, we adapted our service delivery model to ensure that we reach grieving families. As a result, we completed and opened the new state-of-art Center in early 2021. In addition, we began providing specialty behavioral and mental health services to complement our peer support groups. The mental health services were motivated by hearing the impact of loss on clients' lives. For over 13 years, Roberta's House has remained committed to the vision of a community where no one has to grieve alone.
