Barr-Harris Children's Grief Center

There is help for children facing the pain of death, divorce, separation, or abandonment.

The Barr-Harris Center serves:

• Children who have lost a parent through death, divorce, or abandonment.
• Children who have lost a sibling or other family member through death.
• Children with a parent or other family member facing imminent death.
• Parents and other family members.

The Center provides:

• Diagnostic evaluations of the child, parent, or other family members.
• Short and long-term treatment if needed.
• Child guidance to the surviving parent or custodial adult.
• Educational presentations to schools, agencies, community groups and self-help groups.
• Consultation and in-service training to agencies, clinics, hospitals, schools and children's institutions.
• Help with a school crisis (death of a teacher, death of a student).

The Barr-Harris Center is affiliated with the Institute for Psychoanalysis.

Although the Center has a set fee for services, a sliding scale of fees may be used so that no family is denied services for financial reasons.
