The Alcove Center for Grieving Children and Families

The Alcove Center for Grieving Children and Families Mission Statement: Transforming Grief and Loss to Hope and Healing. The Alcove is a safe place wher

Established in November 2001 as a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization, the Alcove Center for Grieving Children and families provides bereavement support services for the Southern New Jersey area. Following the death of a loved one, many times the surviving adult is overwhelmed with grief, making it difficult to provide sufficient support to help their child(ren) deal with the death. Many times this l

eaves the child to face their loss and pain alone. The Alcove provides peer support groups for children ages 3 to 18 and adult group for their surviving parent, grandparent or guardian. Groups run one hour and are facilitated by volunteers who have completed an intensive 30 hour training. The children participate in activities that are designed to help them discuss death through their play, art, storytelling, music and talking. Groups are held every other week and families can attend as long as they feel the need. All bereavement groups are FREE OF CHARGE thanks to generous donations from individuals, businesses, charitable organizations and our dedicated volunteer staff.

Happy Wednesday, everyone😁

The Alcove is currently looking for potential individuals who are interested in becoming a volunteer for our group nights for the 2026-2027 year.

Volunteers are the heart of The Alcove. All grief and loss groups are facilitated by volunteers who encourage the expression of feelings among children and families.

Volunteers interested in facilitating our group nights are required to attend our four day training in the summer. Those training dates are provided below.

If you or someone you know is interested, call the office at (609) 484-1133 or message us here and staff would be able to assist you.

Enjoy the rest of your week!

We’re honored to introduce our Rooted In Love Tree

This special memorial fundraiser will live in the lobby of The Alcove, where we will display the names of loved ones remembered and cherished by our community. Each leaf placed on the tree represents a life, a story, and a lasting connection.

Leaves are just $1, and every contribution helps us continue supporting our grief group families. All proceeds will go toward providing activity baskets for families to provide continued support during our summer hiatus. The goal is to ensure families still feel connected, supported, and cared for even when we’re not meeting in person.

If you’d like to honor someone special, we invite you to add their name to our tree. 💚 Donations can be dropped off in person or via venmo . If sent via venmo please include the name of the loved one you are honoring so we can add them to our tree.

Together, we remember. Together, we support.

Plant hope. Grow healing. Help us create art therapy baskets for kids this summer 💚🌿
