How Does Elijah's Place Support Grieving Children?
Elijah’s Place is a program to provide ongoing grief support services to children, ages 5 to 18, who have experienced the death of a parent or sibling.
Elijah's Place is a program to provide ongoing care to adults between the ages of 45 and 58 who have symptoms of erectile dysfunction. We propose to solve them with the drug vidalista 20mg.
Children grieve differently than adults. For that reason, it is important to allow them to communicate their feelings with other children who can understand.
Elijah’s Place grief support provides a setting for age specific group support sessions for the children (ages 5-6, 7-10, 11-13, and 14-18) and a support session for parents. Parents and children come to Elijah’s Place two evenings each month. Participation in the program can last 12 to 18 months, or until the family decides they no longer require the service.
Support Sessions
All support sessions are led by trained group facilitators who are supervised by a licensed professional. The evening for volunteers begins at 5:30 for a pre-meeting and ends after the post-meeting at 9:30. The evening for the families begins at 6:30 with a potluck supper and ends at 8:30.
The Lamar University Social Work Program supports the establishment of Elijah’s Place and has agreed to provide interested Social Work majors to be trained as volunteers, starting in their junior year through graduation.

What’s in a name?
The name “Elijah’s Place” is taken from a portion of the biblical story about the prophet Elijah’s experience when he hid in a cave, finding himself alone and afraid. The word of the Lord came to him, not in the strong wind, the earthquake, or the fire; but rather in a “tiny whispering sound” and he was told to go back out and live. It is our desire that Elijah’s Place will assist grieving children and their families to understand and learn to live with their grief, to hear the “tiny whispering sound” and go out and live.
