Grief Support for Children and Families of Eastern Oregon
Free peer grief support for kids, teens, and caregivers who have experienced the death of someone they love. No child should have to grieve alone.
Kids supporting kids
Cason’s Place isn’t therapy, and we don’t try to fix grief. It’s a place where kids can be around other kids who get it. They can play, make art, talk, or just be.
While kids meet together, parents and caregivers have their own group down the hall.
We meet twice a month in Pendleton
1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month during the school year
6:30 to 8:00 PM
1416 SE Court Avenue, Pendleton
For kids ages 5 through high school and their parents and caregivers. Kids attend with a parent or trusted adult.
Groups take a break for the summer, but you can reach out anytime.
Families from all over Eastern Oregon are welcome. The cost of getting here should never be a barrier. If travel is a challenge, let us know and we’ll work with you to find a solution.
You’re grieving too
Grief touches the whole family. While your kids are in group, you can join other parents and caregivers who understand what you’re carrying.
An adult needs to stay on site while kids attend. Joining the adult group is your choice, and you never have to talk. But this time is for you.

Because of Cason
Cason’s Place exists because of Cason Terjeson. After he died, his family found peer grief support and saw what it meant to be around people who understood. We built this so families in Eastern Oregon would have that too.
In Their Words
The people who know Cason’s Place best are the families who’ve walked through our doors.
Cason’s Place is a safe place for kids to land with big feelings.

Participant, age 12Grieving kids are just normal kids. Incredible kids, with amazing resiliency. There are incredible bonds across ages. I’ve seen older kids take younger kids under their wing through play and through their shared experiences at Cason’s Place.
