Vance Report Focuses on The Caring Place

HARRISBURG – Sen. Patricia Vance's (R-Cumberland/York) latest edition of the Vance Report features information on The Caring Place, a center for grieving children, adolescents and their families in Lemoyne.

"One in 20 children will lose a parent before they graduate from high school," Vance said. "Most parents do not have the resources to know how to help their children grieve. The Caring Place provides a safe and secure setting for children to process their grief so that they can move forward at no cost to the family."

The show includes a tour of the facility, an interview with a Camp Hill family that has been receiving help at center since their father died in 2002, and a discussion with Charles LaVallee, executive director of The Caring Place.

The show airs on Blue Ridge Communications at 6 p.m. on Tuesdays on Channel 8. Comcast Cable that serves the Shippensburg area will air the program at 4 p.m. on Thursdays on Channel 21. Comcast Cable that serves the Carlisle area will air the show at the same time but on Channel 11. York Community Access shows the program at 9 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month on Channel 16. Finally, Comcast Cable in the Greater Harrisburg area will air the program on Channel 20 with no set time schedule.

Vance's district includes all of Cumberland County and Carroll, Fairview, Franklin, Monaghan, Warrington and Washington townships and Dillsburg, Franklintown and Wellsville boroughs in York County.
