The Austin Center for Grief and Loss serves children and adults who are experiencing grief and loss due to death, divorce or other life-altering event. It offers individual counseling services on a sliding scale basis along with peer support groups for specific types of losses at no charge. More than 2,750 social workers, counselors, child life specialists, nurses and chaplains have received training in the field of grief, loss and trauma at Austin Grief. In summer 2017, we launched our first children's day camp, Camp Red Bird, for children ages 6-12 who have lost a loved one, and last fall we began a partnership with Communities in Schools to offer grief support groups in schools for children who have lost a parent due to death, divorce or incarceration. We currently serve both Austin Independent School District and Hays Independent School District.
