Tucker’s Treehouse is a safe and welcoming place where grieving children can feel seen, supported, and never alone.

Named in honor of Tucker, our loyal therapy dog and constant companion, Tucker’s Treehouse draws inspiration from the comfort, playfulness, and unconditional support that Tucker embodies.

Created in response to a growing need within our community — and inspired by national models of grief support — Tucker’s Treehouse offers peer-based programs for children and teens who have experienced the loss of a loved one.

Through group sessions, art therapy, and guided play, our trained volunteers provide children with the tools and space they need to process their grief at their own pace.

“ This place feels like home. It’s where I can talk, draw, and just be me again.

– Tucker

Programs & Services

Art Therapy

Children express their emotions through guided creative activities that use paint, clay, collage, and drawing as tools for healing. Our trained facilitators create safe, open-ended environments where artistic expression becomes a language for grief — giving voice to feelings that may be too complex to speak aloud.

Peer Groups

Age-appropriate small groups help children process grief in community. Led by caring adults, these peer circles foster honest conversations, shared stories, and gentle encouragement — helping kids and teens feel seen, heard, and less alone. Group play, discussion prompts, and check-ins create structure and safety.

Play-Based Healing

Therapeutic play sessions are designed to restore trust, joy, and connection through intentional games, movement, and story-based exploration. These activities gently support emotional regulation and help children build resilience — all while experiencing comfort, laughter, and the freedom to just be themselves.
