Creating safe, supportive communities so that
no child, teen, or family has to grieve alone
A Message from Our Executive Director
Dear Friends,
Almost 30 years ago, The Children’s Room was created to be a place of support and connection for children and teens after the death of a parent or sibling. Today, our mission remains the same. Whether at our center in Arlington, in schools and communities, or through training for professionals, our programs can be truly life-changing, providing connection, understanding, and coping skills that make all the difference.
For many families, their journey begins with a phone call or an email, often filled with uncertainty and questions about what comes next. On the other end is a clinician who listens, offers guidance, and helps parents and caregivers think through what kind of support might be most helpful. Sometimes that leads to a consultation or a Parenting While Grieving group. Other times, it begins with a Family Night or a teen event. These paths often lead to our Peer Support Groups, where children, teens, and adults realize they are not alone in their grief. They meet others who have also had a parent or sibling die, and in these spaces, participants can speak openly, cry and laugh together, and form new connections while carrying the memory of the person who died.
If you look back at where The Children’s Room started, it was co-founder Phyllis Silverman’s Continuing Bonds Theory of Grief that makes our work special. Her groundbreaking research shifted away from older grief models that emphasized detachment and “moving on.” Instead, the foundation of Phyllis’s work—and at the heart of everything we do—is the belief that the relationship does not end with death; it continues and evolves.
A child can keep a photo by their bedside to remember their person. A teen can share stories about their person in their college essay. A family may continue a favorite tradition or light a candle on a special day. These are the expressions of connection and remembrance that you hear about every day at The Children’s Room.
Over the past year, The Children’s Room has continued to grow in both reach and impact. We now reach nearly 5,000 people annually, with revenues that increased to $1.8 million in 2025. Yet our growth is more than numerical; it reflects the need for services, as well as ensuring we are just a phone call or email away for anyone who has experienced the death of their parent or sibling.
A few of the initiatives we focused on in 2025 included:
- Expanding the reach of our programs: When children and teens cannot come to Arlington, we meet them where they are—in schools and communities—providing grief support in familiar and supportive settings.
- Innovative program access: Programs have entry points monthly and at all times of year, ensuring children, teens, and families can receive support when they need it and for as long as it is helpful.
- Learning, evaluation, and impact: We continue to invest in evaluation, feedback, and research to measure effectiveness, learn, and grow.
None of this is possible without you. Whether you are reading this as a donor, volunteer, board member, or participant, your role in this work is vital. I invite you to walk with us through 2025, to share our stories, open doors, and help others discover how The Children’s Room supports children, teens, and families through life’s most difficult moments. Notice the threads that connect the stories and reflections within these pages as they remind us that grief is both individual and shared, and that when we come together, peer support and continuing bonds create connection and support.
With gratitude,
Jon Gay
Executive Director
The Children’s Room
Family Story: Living, Remembering, Together
At first, Kader Adjout wasn’t sure The Children’s Room could help. After his wife Frederique died of cancer, he wondered what support would even look like for him and his teenage daughter, Emma. Friends encouraged him to reach out, and eventually he agreed. “I didn’t think anyone could support us,” he admitted. “But I thought, why not try?”
When Kader walked into their first group, he carried a lot of doubt. He pictured a room that would feel heavy and sad. Instead he found people who could name what he was going through, people who listened without judgment. “It was life-changing,” he said. “The tools I learned gave me a way to connect with my daughter Emma right away. Even if I wasn’t sure it was helping her, it was helping me begin to process.”
Emma remembers those first days with the same mix of uncertainty and surprise. “My dad offered it, and I said yes. I didn’t know what to expect, but I was curious. Why not?” She was struck by the atmosphere. “I remember it being more fun than I expected, more upbeat than I thought it would be. It was a really positive thing.”
Those early evenings were still difficult. Kader remembers the quiet car rides home, when neither he nor Emma spoke, both still processing what had just unfolded. Over time, the silence gave way to conversation. Emma began telling him about her group, how they talked about their deceased parents, how they coped, and how they could laugh and play games even while carrying their grief.
“Emma started to realize she wasn’t alone,” Kader said. “Hearing her talk about her group, about what they were doing to remember their parents, I could see her beginning to create her own world—one where her mom was still part of her life, even if she wasn’t physically there.”
Emma remembers that shift in her own way. “We were always looking forward to playing Uno,” she said. “That was our moment of friendship, and it just grew from there.” What might seem like a small detail—a deck of cards at the end of the night—became a reminder that joy and grief could live side by side.
For Kader, coming to the Peer Support Groups began as something he was doing for his daughter Emma. Over time, he realized he needed the support just as much. Reflecting on his wife Frederique’s death and his experience at TCR, he shared, “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done out of the worst thing in my life.”
Both father and daughter found comfort in being part of a community where grief could be openly discussed. In that space, no one flinched when someone said, “My mom died.” There was no awkward silence, no pressure to soften the words. Just a group willing to sit with one another through both the challenging moments and the lighter ones. “There was no wrong way to be in the group,” Emma said. “Even if you didn’t want to say anything, people understood you. It made me feel like I wasn’t the only high schooler trying to figure out how to still be a high school student.”
For Kader, the ability to grieve and to keep living was life-changing. “It gave us permission to keep living,” he reflected. “To know that we can still think of my wife, Emma’s mom, and continue to live for her and for us.”
Emma echoes that clarity. “Through TCR I learned to share in a calm way, to say: Yes, this is a fact, my mom died, and life continues to go on.” Her words carry both simplicity and strength, reminding us that grief is not something to fix, but something to live with, side by side, showing how she has found a way to speak about loss while continuing to live fully.
Looking back, Kader sees not only what TCR gave him, but what it gave them together. “It really gave us a chance to start living again. And it showed me that healing doesn’t just come from being helped. It comes from being able to help others, too.”
Our Programs
Center-based & Virtual Grief Support Services
The Children’s Room provides free grief support programs for children and teens who have experienced the death of a parent or sibling, as well as for their parents and primary caregivers. Services are offered in person at our Arlington Center or virtually and are always provided free of charge.
Family-Based Peer Support Groups
Families come together at our Arlington Center and then separate into smaller groups: children and teens by grade level, and adults by type of loss. Groups meet every other week, either on weeknights or Sunday afternoons, and run from October through June. Families may join at multiple entry points throughout the year.
Programs for Teens
Teens-Only Group — A 10-week in-person support group designed for teens to attend independently of their families. New groups begin in October and March and meet weekly.
Teen Events — Monthly activities, such as one-time cooking classes, sporting events, or art workshops, that promote peer connection and community.
Family Night Events
A monthly program for the entire family centered on a creative arts activity. Families participate together on Zoom from their own home, in a space familiar to them. Extended family, however a family defines that, are welcome to participate.
Programs for Adults
Adult Groups — A virtual group meeting on Zoom for adults whose children or teens are no longer participating in Family-Based Groups, or whose teen is enrolled in the Teens-Only Group.
Parenting While Grieving — A six-week virtual program, offered multiple times each year, providing strategies and tools for parents and caregivers supporting children through grief while managing their own.
Consultations — One-on-one session offering expert guidance to help parents and caregivers understand and respond to their family’s grief-related needs.
Resources & Referrals
TCR maintains a database of local grief support organizations, peer groups, therapists, and faith-based institutions. Staff provide recommendations to help parents, caregivers, and professionals find the right resources to meet their individual needs.
School & Community-Based Grief Support Services
The Children’s Room provides trauma-informed grief support for students in schools and community agencies. Programs are facilitated by TCR clinical staff in collaboration with school mental health professionals. Coordination, materials, and facilitation are provided free of charge.
Services for Students
Peer Support Groups — An eight-week, on-site group series that meets weekly to help normalize grief, reduce isolation, build coping skills, and foster peer connection. Designed for students in grades 1–12 who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, or close family member. Group size ranges from 6 to 15 participants.
Pathways of Change Program — A social-emotional learning curriculum for 2nd and 3rd graders. Delivered to the entire class, the lessons use writing, drawing, and interactive activities to explore concepts of change, loss, and grief.
Children’s & Teens’ Grief Awareness Events — One-time, school-wide or agency-wide events that include interactive activities promoting a grief-supportive community and raising awareness. Available for students in grades 1–12, with specialized workshops offered for adolescents (grades 9–12).
Professional Development in Grief Support
The Children’s Room provides training and education for professionals, as well as graduate and undergraduate students preparing for careers in related fields. Our customizable workshops, presentations, and consultations help schools, healthcare organizations, community agencies, and universities better understand childhood and adolescent bereavement.
Trainings
Customizable sessions designed to help professionals support children, teens, and families who are grieving. Training sessions are typically two hours in length and can be delivered on-site or virtually.
Topics include:
- Child and Adolescent Development and Grief
- Grief-Responsive Strategies and Tools
- Creating Bereavement Support Plans
Presentations
Brief sessions that discuss the prevalence of childhood bereavement and its impact on children, teens, and families. Presentations also provide an overview of TCR’s services and referral process. Typically 20–30 minutes, offered on-site or virtually.
Consultations
Individualized consultations are available by phone or virtually for professionals supporting children, teens, and families who have experienced a death loss. Guidance is tailored to each situation and may include language, developmental considerations, strategies, and referrals.
Volunteer Facilitator Training
A twice-yearly training for community members interested in facilitating grief support groups at our Arlington center. This training is required for all volunteer peer support group facilitators at TCR.
Internships
A 10-month academic internship beginning each September for graduate and undergraduate students in social work, psychology, expressive arts, child life, and related mental health fields. Interns participate in monthly seminars and receive ongoing supervision from TCR clinical staff. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis from October to April.
2025 Highlights
Bright New Spaces at the House
This summer, renovations on our third floor transformed the space into a brighter, more dynamic environment for children and teens. Thanks to a generous donation, the new rooms are more flexible, colorful, and playful, encouraging creativity, connection, and joy. These spaces invite young people to be in community with one another through art, games, and shared activities. And if you ask our teens, the new ping-pong table might be the most popular form of support we offer.
A Shared Commitment to Awareness
In November 2024, Governor Maura Healey proclaimed November as Children’s and Teens’ Grief Awareness Month in Massachusetts. To mark the occasion, The Children’s Room hosted a community gathering that brought together practitioners, partner organizations, and state legislators to discuss the importance of supporting grieving children, teens, and families. The event was a meaningful reminder of the growing awareness of childhood bereavement as a public health issue and the importance of collective action to understand, support, and uplift youth.
Expanding Conversations on Ethical Storytelling
At the 2025 National Alliance for Children’s Grief (NACG) Symposium, an annual gathering of 500+ leaders and practitioners in the field, TCR presented on the importance of ethical storytelling in grief work, how sharing stories with care and integrity fosters empathy and connection. This dialogue continues to guide how we tell stories that honor every child, teen, and family we serve.
Launching New Multilingual Peer Support Groups
This year, TCR launched its first Spanish-speaking Peer Support Group in collaboration with Charlestown High School. Led by TCR’s School & Community team, the program builds culturally and linguistically responsive spaces where students can grieve in their own language, fostering a sense of belonging and trust. The pilot represented an important step in TCR’s efforts to ensure all young people can access grief support that honors their voices, identities, and communities.
Running for a Cause
Our 2025 Miles & Memories Marathon Team, benefitting The Children’s Room, was our largest and most successful yet, raising record-breaking funds and awareness to ensure our programs remain free for all families. Among this year’s runners were two sisters who first came to TCR after their mother died. Years later, after also losing their father, who had also once run the Boston Marathon for TCR, they chose to run in memory of both parents and in gratitude for the organization that supported them through their grief. Each runner, including these two sisters, carried with them the spirit of remembrance, resilience, and community support that defines TCR.
Advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
This year, TCR launched its first organization-wide DEI Action Plan, a shared roadmap to ensure our work, spaces, and relationships reflect inclusion, equity, and belonging. The plan builds on our updated DEI statement, developed over the past year, which reaffirms our commitment to creating a community where every person feels seen, valued, and supported. This milestone marks an intentional step toward building a stronger and more compassionate organization for everyone we serve.
Looking Ahead
Celebrating 30 Years of Caring Grief Support
In 2026, The Children’s Room will celebrate 30 years of impact since becoming an independent 501(c)(3) organization in 1996. Over three decades, we have grown from a small community of families who are grieving into a leading organization focused on compassionate, youth-centered grief support. As we mark this milestone, we look forward to honoring the people, stories, and community that have shaped TCR and continue to inspire what comes next. Throughout the next year, we invite you to follow along as we share stories from the past 30 years, highlighting how our mission continues to evolve and endure—then, now, and always.
Building Toward Our Future
TCR is currently developing its next five-year strategic plan, guided by insights and experiences from our community. We are entering this phase from a place of strength and opportunity. Through listening sessions, surveys, and conversations, we are gathering feedback about where our supporters, families, and partners envision us in the years ahead. Together we are shaping a shared vision and creating a roadmap that will guide TCR’s next chapter to support the needs of children, teens, and families with compassion, innovation, and support.
Save the Date: Circle of Hope Breakfast
Join us on April 30, 2026, for our annual Circle of Hope Breakfast, our largest fundraising event of the year. Together we’ll celebrate stories of connection and support, helping ensure that TCR’s programs remain free and accessible for all families. As a community we can build a future where no child, teen, or family grieves alone.
Donor Story: Giving So Others Are Not Alone
Matt and Gwen Mansfield have lived in Arlington for many years, raising their family and building connections through schools, sports, and community programs. Their story is not one of personal tragedy but of empathy. They know families who have experienced the death of a child and have seen how grief reverberates through a community. That awareness led them to The Children’s Room, and it continues to shape why they give.
Finding The Children’s Room Through Community
Their first introduction came through the Arlington Hockey Club, where Matt coached. After the sudden death of a young player, the community looked to The Children’s Room for guidance.
“We’ve been involved in the community for years through sports and school, and our first real connection to The Children’s Room came through the Arlington Hockey Club,” Matt said. “It was such a great opportunity for the kids in the club to understand and know what TCR was and what it offered. Unfortunately, when one of the players died, it had a huge impact on the community. We had to find ways to help the kids and families navigate that loss, and TCR was an incredible resource in that process.”
That moment opened their eyes. “You realize that grief is everywhere,” Gwen added. “Sometimes it’s visible, sometimes it’s not, but it touches so many families.”
Why They Give
Their first introduction came through the Arlington Hockey Club, where Matt coached. After the sudden death of a young player, the community looked to The Children’s Room for guidance.
“For us, it’s important for people to realize that TCR exists,” Matt explained. “It’s one of those things you hope you’ll never need, but you’re grateful to know it’s there if you do. The donations aren’t just about sustaining programs, they’re about sustaining TCR itself. That’s what matters most to us—knowing that TCR will continue to be there to provide comfort and care to families when they need it most.”
Matt and Gwen believe deeply in the importance of sustaining local resources for families in their community. For them, giving to The Children’s Room is about making an impact close to home– ensuring that families who experience a death loss can find support when they need it most. Their commitment goes beyond a single donation; they stay involved by attending events like the Circle of Hope Breakfast, making ongoing contributions, and introducing others to TCR’s mission. Consistency, they believe, helps keep TCR a strong resource.
A Personal Connection to Loss
While the Mansfields have not been a TCR family themselves, Gwen carries her own story of grief.
“I lost my mom when I was 18, and I can’t even imagine what it would have been like to have a resource like The Children’s Room at that time,” she shared. “I think about how different that experience might have been if I’d had a place to go, a community where people understood. That’s why I feel so strongly that the support families receive here is critical. Just having a space where you can talk openly, where you don’t have to explain what grief feels like, where you can share stories about the person who died—that kind of community is invaluable.”
Even as a donor, Gwen carries TCR’s lessons with her. “Kim, TCR’s Philanthropy Director, once shared how important it is to tell a story about the person you’re remembering, and I carry that with me. Now, when I go to a wake, I think about sharing a memory, not just saying ‘I’m sorry.’ That shift has impacted me in my own life, and I imagine it’s even more meaningful for the families who come to TCR.”
Seeing the Bigger Picture
The Mansfields also want others to understand that TCR is more than a single house in Arlington.
“I think one of the best things people can do is take a tour of the TCR house,” Matt said. “Sometimes people imagine it as something heavy or clinical, but when you walk through, you can see how welcoming it is. You see the art, the colors, the rooms for kids and teens—it changes your perspective on what grief support can look like.”
Gwen added, “We’ve also opened our eyes to how far the work extends beyond the house. The school-based programs, the outreach—it’s so much broader than many people realize. That’s another reason why we continue to give, because we know our support helps reach families in many different places.”
A Message for Others
In many ways, Matt and Gwen represent the donors who sustain The Children’s Room not because they’ve needed its services, but because of their deep empathy for others. They’ve witnessed how profoundly grief can affect friends, neighbors, and families in their community. “There’s comfort in knowing that TCR is here for whoever needs it,” they said. “That’s why we want to do our part to make sure it remains a place of support for many years to come.”
Their story is a reminder that giving is not only about personal experience but also about empathy. By showing up consistently, through events, recurring gifts, and their presence, Matt and Gwen make sure no child, teen, or family has to navigate grief alone.
Financial Results
We continue to provide all our services free of charge. The death of a parent or caregiver often comes with a loss of household income. Moreover, accessing mental health and grief-related services through insurance can be complicated and time-consuming. Our financial sustainability allows us to ensure families get the support they need, when they need it, without any financial burden.
