Willow House Willow House supports children, families, schools and communities who are coping with grief and the death of a loved one.

Willow House core services include peer support groups for children, teens, and families, provided at no charge. Groups are located in Arlington Heights, Chicago, Libertyville and Bannockburn, including a group for children and families grieving a su***de death.

🌿 A Heartfelt Thank You
What an incredible night! Thank you to everyone who joined us for Living Legacy: A Spring Benefit.

The evening was filled with the warmth and connection that defines the Willow House community. For years, we’ve believed that no one should have to carry grief alone—and on April 11th, you proved that collective healing is possible.

Your support creates a ripple effect of hope that will be felt for years to come. Thank you for standing with us and for being part of our living legacy.

With gratitude,

The Willow House Team

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing expressive arts volunteers 🎨💛

Your kindness and creativity create a safe space where grief can be expressed without words. Art therapy offers comfort, connection, and a gentle path through loss—and your impact truly matters.

We’re so grateful for everything you give ✨
