Last month nearly 30 professionals attended TCR workshops to learn how to better support grieving children and teens.
"Thank you again for a valuable and insightful day. I feel I have a deeper understanding and sensitivity to my students, and I will go forward with that this fall."

"Parenting While Grieving"
Tools & Strategies that Help Families Cope with Loss
Research has consistently shown that children are better able to cope after a death when their surviving parent is also receiving support around their own grief experience.
The Children's Room will again be offering our 8-week "Parenting While Grieving" series this fall, teaching parenting skills while providing parents and caregivers with education on how children of different ages experience and express grief.
Please visit our website to learn more about this series and how you can join.
Our Heartfelt Thanks
We are grateful to so many of you whose support enables all that we do here at The Children's Room. A word of thanks for some special donations of time, talent, and much-needed resources:
Irish American Club of Arlington for their generous donation. (Pictured at right: Richard Cullinane, Treasurer, presents a check to TCR Development Director Nancy Simpson-Banker)
Youth volunteers from the Boys & Girls Club in Chelsea for helping clean and organize toys and art supplies at TCR.
All our gifted, reliable, caring volunteers (close to 100!), without whom we could not reach nearly as many children and families... thank you, one and all.
The Children's Room has partnered with Donate for Charity to make it fast and easy to donate your old vehicle to TCR. Your vehicle will be picked up - free of charge! - from anywhere and TCR will receive a donation in the amount of the vehicle's value.
