The Centering Corporation was founded in 1977 by Joy and Dr. Marvin Johnson, National Presenters. We started out with nine little coloring books for hospitalized children and a couple of workshops for nurses. Today we have over 150 of our own grief resources for children and adults, My Friends Emotion Dolls, a Memory Bag for children and are the official bookstore for several national organizations. We are here for grieving people and those who care for and love them. We will provide the best grief literature possible. We will develop needed books and provide caring workshops.

Our Mission Statement

We will help support groups find the resources they need to make a difference. We support other publishers who are also reaching people. All of us are unique. We are sensitive to the needs of others and to our own needs. Each call into our office will find a caring voice on the other end, with time to listen and readiness to help. We will all participate in continuing education events every year to increase our own expertise and to help us develop spiritually and emotionally. Our clients and our members are considered part of a caring, extended family, and we will develop personal relationships with them and they with us. We will consult and listen to advice and new ideas. We look at the challenges before us as positive, rewarding experiences. We will not set limits beneath our potential. We will treat ourselves and others with respect. We will encourage creativity and new ideas. We will enjoy the changes that come.
