A few of the things we do

We are diligently working to support you, the surviving sibling.  We see you!

care packages

We send care packages to members who have an upcoming trial date — or just need some care.  Our care packages include items you may need while often waiting for long periods of time in a courtroom.

restorative justice

We are in the process of training, and will be able to train others in the near future in this emerging and critical field.  The chance to face the accused is a powerful component in healing…for some.

healing journal

We have partnered with the Palm Health Foundation to test their SenseMaker app in order to get a better understanding of how recording our feelings can help immeasurably in the grief process.
