Grief shared.
Healing together.
Our House NYC is a welcoming place to find hope and belonging when grieving the death of someone close.
Grief is a universal experience, and support makes all the difference
Founded in Los Angeles and expanded to New York City in 2025, Our House has provided grief support, education, and resources to children, families, and adults for over 30 years.
With over 100,000 individuals served, we’ve become a leading resource for the community. Our evidence-based programs recognize the diverse ways people grieve, ensuring meaningful support.
Serving New York City children, teens and families navigating life after loss
Family Support
Families grieve together and separately. We offer parallel groups where adults and children process loss in age-appropriate spaces, then reconnect to support each other through what comes next.
School Based Support
On-site grief support for students during the school day, plus training for educators to recognize and respond to grief in the classroom with confidence and care.
“Before Our House, grief felt confusing and isolating - I was navigating life without my brother and didn’t know anyone who’d lost a sibling. Through Our House, I found others who truly understood, and that connection was deeply healing.”
- Amanda

Grief Support Groups Serving Adults
Peer-based groups for adults matched by your age and your relationship to the person who died. Meet others who can relate to your specific loss.
After a Death: Support for Schools & Workplaces
When a workplace or school community experiences a death, we provide on-site support and education to help the community process loss and care for each other.
Be there for someone when they need it most
Support grieving children, teens, or adults by becoming a trained volunteer group leader.
Our volunteer program includes training, ongoing supervision by our staff team, and the opportunity to co-lead a peer support group. With just 10+ hours per month, you can help create a space for healing and connection.
This role may be a fit for you if you are compassionate, kind and a good listener. No prior experience needed. We have two tracks: one to become a volunteer group leader for adults and one to become a volunteer group leader for children and teens.
