The My Journey curriculum is thoughtfully designed, making it both easy to understand and simple to guide. Each section flowed naturally into the next, with activities and discussions that were sensitive, engaging, and deeply meaningful - truly creating a safe and supportive space for young people to share and heal. During the grief groups we hosted on the reservation, I saw how the structure and content worked and how it gently encouraged youth to open up, process their feelings, and find comfort in shared experiences. It was a positive, healing experience, and I would highly recommend My Journey curriculum and training to anyone supporting grieving youth.

The My Journey Grief Training and Curriculum provides essential skills for working with one of the most challenging aspects of child and adolescent mental health – helping young people navigate loss and grief. The comprehensive approach brilliantly weaves together evidence-based theoretical frameworks with practical, real-world case examples. The commitment to supporting communities in crisis was powerfully demonstrated when My Journey curriculum and trainings were brought to Hawaii following the devastating August 2023 fires on Maui, providing crucial training to local mental health professionals on how to best support children affected by this traumatic event. This training is invaluable for anyone that works with children that is seeking to build confidence and competence in supporting grieving children and teens during their most vulnerable moments.

Over the last 8 years, I have found the My Journey Grief Curriculum is a tool that works. I was first introduced to the curriculum as a School Social Worker for Kinder to 8th grade. The journals are student and facilitator friendly, it allows for journaling, coloring, and conversations. I have been able to successfully use this tool in a group setting and also individually. At Kern County Superintendent of Schools, this is one of the annual staff trainings to bring back to their schools to supports students that are experiencing grief. Over years, we have trained throughout districts in Kern County: School Social Workers, School Counselors, School Psychologists, Mental Health Clinicians, Behavioral Support Staff, and many more. Gina, the co-creator of the curriculum is a wealth of knowledge and as a practicing LCSW/PPS (School Social Worker), she brings her expertise from her prior work in hospice to make the curriculum work for students in a K-12 setting. We are happy that Gina personally comes to Kern County and provides the training herself.
