Staten Island Top Women in Business to give back to Emma’s Place
Losing a loved one is undoubtedly difficult but, thanks to Emma’s Place – the only not-for-profit Grief and Loss Center for children and families on Staten Island – finding the light in your life is that much easier.
A free-standing, independent grief and loss center, Emma’s Place, located at 1076 Forest Avenue, is supported by the compassion and generosity of community funding and therefore, is dedicated to supporting the growing needs of its community.
“We’re trying to reach out to families in the area who don’t have anywhere to go, who are frightened,” said Karen Goldman, the chairperson of Emma’s Place who called grief counseling her passion. “And we do it all free of service for the Staten Island community. We are year-round, we are not just sporadic – that’s the one thing that we want, to be consistent because people who are grieving need consistency.”
