Solace House is a grief counseling center specifically designed to guide children and their families through the pivotal time following the death of a loved one. Age-specific support groups are offered where participants are encouraged to share their stories with the help of a group facilitator.

Grief affects people in different ways and triggers a variety of emotional issues. Solace House is not the answer for situations requiring crisis counseling, psychotherapy, or other general mental health counseling or therapy. Solace House is a beginning point for grieving families who need compassionate direction.

Solace House helps people regain a sense of life balance and equips participants to appropriately honor loss and integrate the grief journey into their overall life experience.

In January 2009 Solace House became a program of Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care. For more information call 913-341-0318 or visit www.solacehouse.org.
