Elementary, Middle, and
High School Program
OUR HOUSE recognizes that many of our community's most vulnerable youth who have experienced the death of a family member or friend are not able to attend support groups at our West Los Angeles or Woodland Hills locations. Through our School Based Program we are able to bring our services to them.
OUR HOUSE offers on-site grief support groups for elementary, middle, and high school students. Students are identified by school personnel and are invited to participate. The School Program is offered at no cost to the schools or student participants.
School Groups
- consist of 8-12 students
- occur once a week for 8-10 weeks
- are led by highly trained and compassionate OUR HOUSE volunteers
- take place on campuses in the Los Angeles, Culver City, Santa Monica/Malibu, Inglewood, and Hawthorne Unified School Districts
- are shown to improve the academic performance and social adjustment of student participants
For more information about our School Program or to request a group at your school, please contact us at 310-473-1511 or 818-222-3344.
Thank you to our School Program Sponsors

"Thank you for offering the services of OUR HOUSE to our students. They learned that they were not alone in what they were going through and were able to share their grief."
- High School Counselor
"I saw such a need for grief support and did not know where to turn. A lot of families do not have insurance, and therefore cannot afford any type of support services. Thank you OUR HOUSE for the outstanding support."
- Middle School Psychologist
"The grief support group helped our students to talk openly about their grief when they otherwise wouldn't."
- Elementary School Group Leader
"The thing I liked most about the Grief Support Group was that it was very interactive and hands on with the students. It allowed the students to express themselves in many ways."
