Non-Clinical Intern

Judi’s House is a comprehensive grief center serving children ages 3-18, young adults 18-25, and their parents or caregivers. We serve individuals who are grieving a death loss of any kind, including illness, suicide, homicide, and accidental death. The families we serve are grieving the death of a “special person” who could be a parent, sibling, grandparent or other family member, friend, etc.

We offer Comprehensive Grief Care® which includes group and non-group therapy, training and education, and resources and referrals for grieving youth and their families. All services are provided at no cost to families.

We know that for many families, getting to Judi’s House can be difficult.

Through these partnerships, the Judi’s House Community-Based Care Team offers grief care programming and workshops to youth, staff, and caregivers in Metro Denver and beyond.
