Founded in 1882 and over the course of various name changes, our firm has sustained successs in delivering exceptional service to our clients. This success is firmly rooted in our fundamental core values that have guided the firm since its inception: Client service; professional integrity; ethics and professionalism; collegiality; and community service.

Dylan, an 8 year old at The Sharing Place lost his dad to suicide. After his dad's death Dylan became withdrawn at school and from family and friends. His grades plummeted and he felt alone. During Dylan's time at The Sharing Place he has been able to share memories of his dad with kids who also have lost a loved one to suicide. His mom reports his grades are "up again" and he has started to be more social and regain his sense of hope.

The Sharing Place needs your help to add another preteen group, support existing outreach school programs (68% of kids served are minority) and expand to other schools in need. Additionally, The Sharing Place will earmark some of the funding to implement a Spanish speaking grief group in the community. By expanding our services and introducing new programs, The Sharing Place will gain greater accessibility to minority families in need of our services.
