What is Ele's Place Ele's Place is a nonprofit, community-based organization with a mission to create awareness of and support for grieving children and their families. Through peer support group programs, Ele's Place helps children to cope with the death or life-threatening illness of a parent, sibling or other close family member or friend. Before coming to Ele's Place, many grieving children feel alone and keep their feelings inside, not wanting to burden their parents or other family members. Often friends don't seem to understand if they haven't had a similar experience. But each week at Ele's Place, hundreds of grieving children find a warm and welcoming place to meet new friends who really understand how they feel. Some children learn how to cope with a family member's illness, while others begin to heal after the death of a loved one. Why is Ele's Place Important Many children today will have experienced the death of a loved one by the end of high school. Ele's Place recognizes that children's grief is unique, and that unaddressed grief can have a negative impact on children's health and well-being. Unresolved childhood loss is often linked with adolescent and adult depression, violence, truancy, alcoholism, drug abuse, anxiety and suicidal tendencies. Ele's Place helps grieving children who are at risk of developing these negative behaviors by supporting them during their bereavement and providing them with life-affirming skills, so they may continue their lives with hope and confidence.
