Gerard's House

When a child or teenager experiences the death of, or a separation from a loved one, Gerard's House is here with free grief support services for them and their families. Since 1997, we have helped more than 10,000 northern new mexico children and youth to regain hope, stabilize psychologically and restore sustaining family relationships in the face of a death or other serious loss. Because so many families experience barriers when they try to access services, we focus on our community's children and families, who are living in poverty or on the margins. Programs are collaborative, mobile, culturally specific, bilingual and accessible in multiple ways. Our services include 28 weekly peer grief support groups, a mobile unit, suicide-prevention programs, summer camps, crisis response, and others. We also provide grief support groups and individual sessions for grieving adults. All services are free of charge.
