Peter's PlaceWelcome to Peter's Place

Our Purpose

Peter's Place was founded in memory of 10-year-old Peter Morsbach. Peter's Place is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We are supported through individual donations, foundation grants, and special events. Peter's Place was founded on the belief that every child, teen, and adult deserves the opportunity to grieve in a supportive and understanding environment.

Peter's Place aims to provide a safe and supportive environment for grieving children and families and acts as a community resource to foster understanding of the effects of death and grief.

There are two branches to the services we offer: on-site peer support groups, and community outreach. On-site we offer groups for children ages 4-17 and their adult caregivers, as well as young adults ages 18-25. Through our outreach program, we also provide intervention and support services as well as workshops and trainings to schools, organizations and professionals in our community.

Our Principles

  • Grief is a natural reaction to death
  • Grieving people do not need to be "fixed," but they do benefit from support
  • Within each individual is the natural capacity to heal him/herself
  • Duration and intensity of grief are unique for each individual
