Welcome to Ryan’s Place
At Ryan’s Place, we provide grief support to children, teens, and families. Ryan’s Place works with the bereaved to provide support and education as they travel on their journey of grief to find peace, hope, and a new normal as they face life without their deceased loved one.
Here on our website, you will find everything you need whether you’re a person seeking support, wanting to find additional resources, or learning more about our organization. Explore our programs designed for various age groups, each tailored to provide a safe space for healing and growth. You can also find details about our community events, and volunteer opportunities.
We are committed to offering a comprehensive and compassionate approach to grief support, ensuring no one has to navigate this challenging journey alone. All group support services are provided at no cost to those who attend.
You don’t need to grieve alone.
“Each person’s grief journey is as unique as a fingerprint or a snowflake” ~ Earl Grollman
The Next Chapter Begins
Ryan’s Place is excited to begin a new chapter in our mission to provide grief support to children, teens, and families in the Michiana community. We recently broke ground on our new facility, the “Home for Healing Hearts,” located at 1566 Regent Street in Goshen. This 18,000-square-foot space will serve as the heart of our programs and offices, designed to support those navigating the journey of grief. Key features of the new building include specialized rooms like an art room, a tornado high-energy room, a hospital room, and spaces for music therapy and theater, all thoughtfully created to enhance our grief support programs and provide a place of comfort and healing.
Volunteer
Each year Ryan’s Place is able to serve hundreds of children, teens and their families because of the extraordinary people we call volunteers. Contact us to learn how you can become a volunteer.
Group Support
Children and teens often feel isolated and unable to talk about the death with peers who have not had a similar experience. Ryan’s Place provides bi-monthly peer-to-peer support groups for children, teens and their families who have experienced the death of a loved one.
Community Education
Ryan’s Place provides presentations, training, and guidance for educators, health care professionals, and others interested in learning how to help grieving children and teens.
