Healing happens together.

No Child Grieves Alone.

For more than 20 years, Willow Center has provided support, connection, and hope to grieving children and families throughout the Lewis-Clark Valley and surrounding region. Through peer support groups, Camp Erin, and community education, we help children, teens, and caregivers build resilience, find healing, and discover they are not alone in their grief journey.

Based in Lewiston, ID, Willow Center is the only organization between Boise and Spokane that is dedicated to serving the needs of bereaved children, teens, and their families in a free-of-charge, on-going, open-ended support group format.
