Capital Region
Ele’s Place – Capital Region serves the grieving children of mid-Michigan through our Lansing office. We hold peer support groups Monday – Thursday weekly throughout the school year and family nights once a month in the summer. We also hold Ele’s Groups at schools throughout the area.
