Judi's House

🌿✨ Happy Hour in the Garden ✨🌿

We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us for such a special evening in support of Judi’s House.

A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors and incredible volunteers—your support made the night possible. 💙

Because of you, we can continue to care for children and families grieving a death.

June is Gun Violence Awareness Month. Nearly 25% of children under 18 have witnessed violence, and an estimated three million children have witnessed gun violence. These experiences can deeply affect a child’s sense of safety and emotional well‑being.

At Judi’s House, we support children and caregivers navigating the impact of community violence. Resources like Sesame Workshop's Community & Gun Violence resources offer helpful, age‑appropriate guidance for talking with kids and supporting healing.

As Day 1 of NACG Symposium comes to a close, we are so thankful to be able to connect with other grief professionals in the field. We're so lucky to get this opportunity to support and learn from one another.

We’re looking back on our Memorial Event in May and remembering the meaningful stories and connections shared. 🌻 This open‑house event created space for clients and families to come together, reflect, and honor their special person through hands‑on activity stations focused on remembrance and connection.

We are deeply grateful to the staff and volunteers whose support and presence helped make the day that much more meaningful to the families we serve. Thank you for helping create a space filled with support, compassion, and remembrance. 💙

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to acknowledge the unique challenges many men face when it comes to emotional well‑being and grief.

According the National Health Institute (NHI), su***de rates among men are four times higher than women. These numbers remind us how critical it is to create spaces where men feel supported and understood.

At Judi’s House, we believe that grief support should be accessible to everyone and that no one should have to navigate grief alone.
