The Center for Grieving Children’s mission is to provide a safe space, loving peer support, outreach and education to grieving children, teens, families and the community. The Center was founded in 1987 by Portland, Maine resident Bill Hemmens, following the death of his sister. In trying to find help and support for his niece Erin, Bill recognized that children need peers and caring adults to support them through their grief, because death profoundly affects every aspect of their lives.
