What an honor it was to attend the 29th Annual NACG National Alliance for Children's Grief Symposium. The Rainbow Kidz team is returning with over 40 hours of continuing education, but even more importantly, a renewed passion for strengthening our programs through the connections and insights gained at this conference.

During the closing plenary, we were reminded that our most powerful intervention is relationships. Throughout the conference, we explored the importance of being culturally responsive, compassionately curious, and creating spaces where belonging and connection foster healing.

Rainbow Kidz is committed to ensuring that no child or family ever has to grieve alone. We are here for you!

Happy Juneteenth! Today we honor freedom, history, and community.

The Rainbow Kidz team brought these special photos of their loved ones who died to the NACG National Alliance for Children's Grief symposium where the photos were placed in the symposium ofrenda.

The ofrenda, a cultural practice in Mexican and Mexican-American heritage, served as a space for remembrance, reflection, and honoring enduring bonds.

The Rainbow Kidz team found the ofrenda to be a profoundly meaningful experience. As we reflect on each of our stories and the stories of the children and families we serve, we are reminded of how these enduring bonds live on everyday in our work.

The 29th Annual NACG National Alliance for Children's Grief Symposium is in full swing!

The Rainbow Kidz team is so excited for the first day of the conference full of continuing education classes and networking with grief experts from across the country.

We were thrilled to connect with our Rainbow Kidz Intern Katarina who received a student scholarship to attend.

Our team is honored to be here so that we can bring expertise back to our community. We look forward to sharing more about our experience this week!
