Peter’s Place is a children's bereavement center located in Radnor, PA. We offer a safe and supportive environment for grieving families and young adults after the death of someone significant in their life.
Peter's Place is currently looking for volunteer Grief Group Facilitators to assist in our peer support groups for children. Children, ages 4-17, come to Peter's Place after a significant person in their life has died, and are placed into groups which meet every other week from September-June. They come together in the "talking circle" to share, play games, and do creative, hands-on activities while accompanying adults participate in a parent/caregiver support group. All groups are facilitated by Master’s level staff members and trained volunteer grief group facilitators.
No experience is needed! Required pre-service training is held over 2 full weekends in the summer (Aug 24-25, Sept 28-29) as well as on-going training and support.

Mission Statement
Peter's Place's mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children, teens, and their families can get support as they work through the healing process following the death of someone significant in their lives. Our work is based on the belief that grief is a burden no child should carry alone.
Description
Volunteers at Peter's Place provide comfort and safety for grieving children and adults. Peter's Place offers support groups for children, teens, and young adults who have experienced the death of a loved one. On-site services are free of charge. During groups for children and teens, adult caregivers participate in their own support groups. Support groups are facilitated by a combination of masters level staff and well trained volunteer Grief Facilitators. Peter's Place also does off-site outreach programs in schools and other communities who are grieving. Volunteers participate in these outreach activities to help educate adults in the community about creating safe and nurturing environments for grieving children.
