Willow House

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. At Willow House, children and families come together, gain mutual support, and are able to express their grief in a safe, compassionate p

lace. The Willow House School and Community Outreach Program provides education for schools, workplaces and communities dealing with grief and death through workshops, consultation and crisis intervention. We also provide professional development, including CEUs for social workers in the field of grief support.

๐ŸŒฟ 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, weโ€™ve believed that no one should have to carry grief aloneโ€”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
