We help people navigate sudden loss by walking beside them — learning to honor what was, while finding purpose in what remains. 

**One-toOne Mentoring with Telehealth Access:** 

Our 1:1 mentoring connects people who are grieving with someone who truly understands — a trained peer who’s walked through loss themselves. We’re expanding our space and adding secure telehealth stations, so we can meet people where they are.

Sometimes, getting out of bed feels like climbing a mountain. So if a person can’t come to us, we will go to them — using technology, in the safety of their own home.

Your support helps cover mentor stipends, technology access, and scholarships for those who can’t afford the $75 session fee.

**Free Support Groups - Now Hybrid - In-person & Online:**

We host mentor-led groups for all kinds of loss — Suicide, Spouse, Child, Infant & Miscarriage. We’ve even added a Loss-to-Addiction group and another, coming soon, for Young Spouses under 40 — people often left out of traditional grief spaces.

In 2025, we made our groups hybrid, so someone who lives out of town (or just can’t face leaving home) can still join and be heard.

Your gift helps us sustain these groups, train and pay facilitators, keeping the door open for anyone who needs them.

**HopeWave for Youth Grief Recovery:**

HopeWave is our 10-week, in-school mentoring program for elementary, middle, and high school students who’ve lost a parent, sibling, or someone close. It teaches coping skills, emotional awareness, and connection — helping kids heal right where they learn.

This semester, 103 students across JCPS took part, and we’re on track to reach up to 250 hurting youth next year.

HopeWave fills a critical gap in youth mental-health services by preventing isolation, acting-out behaviors — including violence — and the suppressed trauma so often linked to unprocessed grief.

Your support helps us train and pay HopeWave grief mentors and provide journals and resources that guide young people toward understanding and resilience.

**Scholarships & Therapy Access:**

Not every griever can afford private therapy — and that’s okay. We provide scholarship funds for people who need specialized trauma care, such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), but can’t afford it — making sure nobody is turned away.

Your generosity helps fill that gap, so healing never depends on what someone can pay.
