The Highmark Caring Place

The death of a loved one is devastating to a child. The impact can be overwhelming and the children and family often need support. The Highmark Caring Place can provide that support through its various programs.

The Caring Place began in Pittsburgh in 1996. Facilities are also located in Erie, Harrisburg, and in the Cranberry region.

Thousands of community members are helped by the Caring Place each year at no cost through our peer support programs, and our education, consultation, and referral services.

The 2024 Children's Grief Awareness Day is observed on Thursday, November 21st. Wear BLUE to let our students know they are not alone in dealing with their grief.
