Helping Families Heal After Loss

The death of a loved one can change a family’s life forever. Children grieve differently than adults. Teens often struggle to express what they are feeling. Caregivers are left navigating their own grief while supporting the children and young people who depend on them. Every family’s grief journey is unique, but no family should have to walk that journey alone. For 31 years, CGC has been a source of hope and healing for families facing death loss and its secondary losses. Through support groups, individual counseling, grief-informed education, family-centered programs like Good Grief Camp, and community outreach, we create safe spaces where children and caregivers can share their experiences, build resilience, and discover that healing is possible.

The impact of grief reaches far beyond the moment of loss. It affects relationships, school performance, emotional well-being, and everyday life. By bringing together those who share similar experiences, we help children, youth, and caregivers realize they are not alone.

Your support through El Paso Giving Day 2026 helps ensure that grieving families have access to these vital services when they need them most. This year, our goal is to raise $25,000. Together, we can ensure that families facing grief have a place to turn for support, understanding, and hope.
