About Oak Tree Corner

Oak Tree Corner is a nonprofit organization based in Dayton, Ohio that provides grief support groups for children ages three through 18 who have had someone important in their life die, including a parent, sibling, close relative, friend, or caregiver. Oak Tree Corner provides year-round support groups in three counties surrounding Dayton, and is free of charge for all families. Groups are led by trained volunteers, most of whom have experienced loss at an early age in their lives as well. Since its founding in 1996, Oak Tree Corner has served more than 1,000 children and their families. 

During group meetings, children and teens are offered a free meal and then engage in activities including, “games, memory projects, puppets, music, baking, drama, crafts and often, sharing stories. After group, a short closing circle unites the entire group,” says Oak Tree Corner.  A separate group is also available for parents and caregivers who care for children and teens in grief.
