A Caring Place,
a Listening Space

We’re here for your child

Sadness that consumes. Confusion, anger and very real fear. Children and young people aged 4 to 18 years, who are affected by loss through death, separation or divorce, can so easily lose themselves in a sea of confused emotions. This is where we come in – providing a professional, safe, accepting and compassionate listening service to help your child work through his or her feelings.

We offer support in a safe place where children can share their experience of loss through death, separation or divorce.
How can we help your child?

Our New Building

Mount St. Vincent, O'Connell Avenue, Limerick

In January 2020 the Sisters of Mercy gifted the former Ladies Residence at Mount St. Vincent’s to the Centre.  This went through extensive renovations and is now home to the Children’s Grief Centre.  Our upgraded building will now enable us to meet the needs of the increasing numbers of children who are being referred to our services.  While always respecting the original architecture of this building, we tastefully increased its physical footprint, thereby enhancing the stimulating environment for children and young people.

The new Centre accommodates the following:

  • Support rooms tailored to specific age groups incorporating creative tunnels, nooks and crannies, recessed closet for dress-up/theatre, sand trays, punch bags etc.
  • Tranquil memory garden for use by parents/guardians
  • Waiting room for parents/guardians incorporating a library and refreshments
  • Administration office

Olive’s Story

“Children who are bereaved from death, separation, divorce, they will often need somewhere they can go and can be heard themselves. What I have seen with my children is they go in to see Helen, they would sit down and talk about themselves mainly, do drawings and express emotions.

They are stronger children as a result of that I do believe….”
