Dear Friends,

When a family member or loved one dies, support for surviving children and adults is limited.  Tamarack Grief Resource Center in western Montana is committed to supporting and strengthening bereaved individuals and families.

Grief is a natural, albeit complicated, part of the human experience.
How can we best support one another?

This question has guided my work and research over the past fifteen years. Much remains unknown when it comes to addressing end-of-life and death in our families, schools, places of employment or worship, or in our communities. What we do know is this: during times of loss, individuals can benefit from connections with understanding others as they reconstruct their lives. Tamarack Grief Resource Center is dedicated to fostering this support and understanding throughout the grief process. I’ve had the honor of working with hundreds of compassionate, talented professionals over the years in treatment centers, parent support agencies, schools, group homes, and treatment centers, yet never before have I worked with a team as committed to focusing and specializing on this one goal: Grief support and education. For that reason, Tamarack is poised to become the region’s most comprehensive grief resource center.

I welcome the opportunity to discuss Tamarack, to share stories and pictures from past camps and retreats, and to explore ways Tamarack may be able to support and strengthen you, your family, or your community.

Warmly,

Tina Barrett, Ed.D., LCPC, Executive Director, Tamarack Grief Resource Center
