TW: Suicide, Child Death

In this heartfelt episode, we tenderly explore the profound impact of losing a child through the voices of three courageous mothers: Colleen Havey (Starts at 00:35), Laurel O'Sullivan (Starts at 36:42), and Jill Mickey (Starts at 1:03:22). Their stories reveal the unique challenges and emotional journeys faced, offering a compassionate space for healing and hope.

"In 2020, more than 200,000 people were serving life sentences—1 in 7 people in prison.For many incarcerated parents, interacting with their children outside of a prison will be impossible for the rest of their lives." (Parents-in-Prison.pdf)

Join us as Stephanie sits with Natasha Blakely of Project Avary and Jessie D. Mabrey of the short film "The Candle," for this powerful episode on the seldom talked about issue for youth in the U.S.

This April, during Volunteer Appreciation Month, we want to express our deepest gratitude to the volunteers who provide free support groups worldwide to youth facing loss and uncertainty. We're honored to be speaking with two facilitators and members of the Rainbows network about the value they've seen in our programs and the strong, supportive communities these programs help build. 🌈
