The Highmark Caring Place champions the cause of grieving children by creating awareness of their needs, providing programs for them and their families, and empowering the community to effectively support them.

The first Caring Place facility opened in Pittsburgh in 1997. Since that time, the program has expanded across Pennsylvania, with additional facilities in Erie, near Harrisburg, and in Warrendale.

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

One child in 20 will have a parent die before he or she graduates from high school.
