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. Roberta's House offers free programs and services to
school-age children, teens, and their families through peer and
non-clinical support, education, empowerment, and community
awareness. The grief service focuses on 1) those who have
experienced the death of a loved one or someone special; 2) those
who have family or friends who 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. We are in partnership
and have 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. Navigating through a 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-the-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 15
years, Roberta's House has remained committed to the vision of a
community where no one has to grieve alone. We unite around a
common cause that brings the team together and ensures everyone
works toward the same goal. Our teams act on the passion to create
a better world that will impact the lives of others. We bring
people together regularly for celebrations to ensure everyone feels
included and recognized. DEI Statement: We prioritize diversity and

voices informs innovation and strengthens our business. EOE
