WillMar's Mission:

WillMar Family Grief & Healing Center provides compassionate peer group support for children, teens and their families grieving the death; and for youth and adults living with a family member suffering from a life-changing illness or injury. In addition to the safe, healing environment offered at the Center, WillMar also provides emergency on-site grief support, education, and training to schools and business throughout Sonoma Valley and county.

To achieve our goals, WillMar Family Grief & Healing Center:

  • Facilitates professional and meaningful support groups for children and their parents, grandparents, guardians, and care-givers.
  • Conducts expressive arts programs to encourage healthy self-expression and to strengthen the bereaved child.
  • Focuses on community education addressing the needs of grieving children through WillMar Center's Lending Library, school outreach programs, and presentations for adults in the community.
  • Relies entirely on the generosity of private donations from individuals, businesses and foundations. No fees are ever charged for children or teens to attend, and no one is ever turned away due to financial limitations. WillMar does not receive any government funding or insurance reimbursements.
