Dougy Center's Impact
Dougy Center is focused on providing grief support and resources at no cost to children, teens, young adults, and their families. We also work to educate helping professionals and communities on how to support those who are grieving.
As an organization focused on supporting children and families who are grieving, 2023 was a year of continued growth for Dougy Center with increased demand for our resources and services. In the past year, we served 2,684 children, teens, young adults, and family members through 1,803 peer grief support groups. This was made possible in large part by Dougy Center’s dedicated volunteer facilitators, who gave an incredible 24,915 hours of service.

Have you ever been told that you should be over your grief? Or that grief should happen in stages?
Dougy Center is working to challenge these and other misconceptions through the #UnderstandGrief campaign. Launched in 2022, #UnderstandGrief is focused on what it means to be grief-informed, how to help people who are grieving, and educate those who wish to support them.
