Our Mission
The Alcove is a safe place where children and their families, who are grieving a death can receive comfort and support through the healing process.
Who We Are
The Alcove was founded in February 2001 by two area therapists, Pat Smith and Mindy Shemtov, master level social workers. Having years of personal and professional experience with grief work, Pat and Mindy were intensely aware of the need to have bereavement support services for children in our area.
The Alcove began its first group with 6 children and their caregivers in November 2001 one week after receiving the 501 (c)3 nonprofit status. The groups were held in a small space donated by a local church. In 2011 we moved to our current location expanding to 4,500 square feet of office space in addition to 1,500 sq. ft. for a thrift shop that helps to support our mission. Each meeting room is decorated age appropriately for the children. Local community members and area school children were instrumental in painting and designing murals for the group rooms. Our facility is designed to be inviting and comfortable to help provide a safe and supportive atmosphere for families to discuss their pain and grief.
