Common Ground Grief Center

Our Story

Childhood and teen grief are often misunderstood and under-recognized. In response to the lack of ongoing support services for grieving children and teens, Lynn Snyder, a licensed professional counselor specializing in childhood bereavement, founded Common Ground Grief Center. Established in 2009, the center began with just three children and their caregivers meeting in a local church basement. Today, it has grown into a vital resource for the community, providing a nurturing environment where children can share their experiences of loss and begin to heal.

Our Impact

Common Ground offers open-ended peer support groups for children ages 6-18 and young adults ages 19-30 who have lost a parent, sibling, or primary caretaker. The organization fosters a safe and caring environment, helping children feel less alone in their grief and promoting emotional well-being.

Why Donate?

Donating to Common Ground Grief Center directly supports the emotional well-being of grieving children and teenagers. Contributions help provide essential training for volunteers, art supplies for creative expression, and the leadership needed to sustain the organization.
