Erin's House for Grieving Children, based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, has operated since 1993 to provide a safe and supportive space for children to cope with grief. Its program emphasizes helping children express emotions, share their feelings, and gradually reintegrate into daily life by connecting with peers who understand their experience. By addressing unresolved grief, the organization aims to reduce its negative long-term effects and help participants grow into compassionate and responsible young adults. The services fall within the broader realm of individual and family services, targeting bereaved children and their families. It is a locally focused, small organization serving the Fort Wayne region, supported by community partnerships. A recent development is the recognition of its leadership: Executive Director Debbie Meyer received the Indiana Governor's Circle of Corydon Award in May 2026 for her work with Erin's House.
