Locations

There are four Highmark Caring Place facilities in western and central Pennsylvania. The first facility was built in Pittsburgh in 1997. A facility serving the Erie region followed in 2001, another in Harrisburg opened in 2003, and the most recent facility serving the Warrendale/Cranberry region was built in 2009.

Each of the Caring Place programs follow the same model — a child-based, family-centered program of peer support for grieving children.

In addition to peer support groups, the Caring Place also provides:

• To families:
  • Referral services
  • Adult telephone support
  • Educational programs

• To schools and other professionals in the community who work with children:
  • Consultation services
  • Educational presentations
  • Resources
