Since 1997, Gerard's House has been supporting children and teenagers who have experienced the death of someone significant in their lives.

We provide weekly peer support groups where youth ages 3-20 can be together with other young people who share their feelings and experiences in an atmosphere of respect and trust. Parents and caregivers are offered a support group at the same time their children are meeting.

All our services are free of charge and confidential.

In 2009, we began an exciting and innovative new peer grief support program for children and youth who are currently in the foster care system or who have been adopted. We are developing this program on a collaborative basis with other agencies and service providers in Santa Fe.

Our collaborative partners in this program include:

· CASA First Judicial District,

· Santa Fe Mountain Center

· the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department (CYFD)

· the Adoption Means Love Foundation

with additional funding from the State of New Mexico under the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA)
