Please note that there will be no Family Healing Circles during the month of July.

We encourage you to use this time to enjoy the fresh air, spend time with loved ones, practice self-care, and reflect on the lessons, connections, and healing that have taken place through Family Healing Circles during the first half of the year.

Healing doesn’t stop when the circle ends. Take this month to continue nurturing yourself in the ways that feel most meaningful to you.

We look forward to reconnecting with you in August. đź’™

✨ Introducing Our Mom Spotlight Series ✨

At Adam’s Purpose, our moms are the heart of our community. Each of them carries the journey of child loss while serving as peer advocates, volunteers, and sources of hope for other grieving families.

But their stories don’t stop there.
Beyond Adam’s Purpose, these remarkable women are leaders, authors, entrepreneurs, students, professionals, and changemakers making a meaningful impact in their families and communities every day.

Each month, we’ll spotlight one incredible peer advocate to celebrate her journey, honor her strength, and recognize the many ways she continues to inspire others.

🌸Meet Our Mom in the Spotlight This Month:

Casandra Watkins

Casandra Watkins is a mother, author, advocate, and counseling intern whose life has been shaped by resilience, faith, and unconditional love. Following the murder of her son, Kanajai Burton, in 2022, she transformed her pain into purpose by supporting other families impacted by violence and loss.

She serves as Co-Leader of the Denver Chapter of Parents of Murdered Children (POMC), Inc. and is honored to serve as a Peer Advocate with Adam’s Purpose, where she facilitates support groups for bereaved mothers and helps create spaces for healing, connection, and remembrance. Through Adam’s Purpose, she has witnessed the power of mothers supporting mothers and the importance of ensuring that no grieving parent walks this journey alone.

Casandra is currently pursuing a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with the goal of working with families impacted by grief, trauma, and homicide loss, particularly mothers whose children have been taken by violence.

She is the author of SonSet On a Mother’s Heart: A Mother’s Journey After the Murder of Her Son, a memoir that chronicles her journey through grief, faith, healing, and advocacy while honoring the life and legacy of her son, Kanajai.

Today, we honor and celebrate fathers.

At Adam’s Purpose, we recognize the strength, love, sacrifice, and dedication that fathers bring to their families and communities every day. We also hold space for fathers who are carrying grief, navigating loss, missing a child, or honoring the memory of a child they love deeply.

Father’s Day can bring a mixture of emotions. Whether today is filled with joy, remembrance, gratitude, heartache, or all of the above, please know that your experiences are seen and your love matters.

To all fathers, grandfathers, father figures, and grieving dads, we honor you today and every day.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Adam’s Purpose. 💙

Today, we proudly celebrate Juneteenth, a day that honors freedom, resilience, culture, and the enduring strength of the Black community.

At Adam’s Purpose, our mission is rooted in providing help, hope, and healing to Black grieving families. We understand that healing happens within the context of culture, community, and connection. As we commemorate Juneteenth, we recognize both the progress that has been made and the continued work of creating spaces where Black individuals and families feel seen, supported, and valued.

Today, we celebrate the rich legacy, contributions, and resilience of those who came before us while remaining committed to walking alongside families as they navigate grief, healing, and hope.

May we continue to honor our history, strengthen our communities, and create a future where every family has access to the care, support, and belonging they deserve.

Happy Juneteenth from all of us at Adam’s Purpose.
