The Grieve Gracefully Symposium is our signature conference dedicated to culturally grounded grief education, mental health awareness, and healing practices. Featuring panels, workshops, and lived-experience storytelling, the symposium explores grief, trauma, stigma, and systemic barriers. Participants gain actionable strategies for compassionate grief support and engage in meaningful reflection to strengthen equitable care for children, families, and communities.

Come both days, Friday only, or Saturday only. Friday rates are the same whether or not you stay for Saturday, and Saturday is free. Registration is required for every day.

Description: Providing Care-

Professionals will examine Black grief through historical context, research, and community voice, exploring how bereaved Black families navigate systems and inequities across critical areas of life. Participants will move from understanding these systemic barriers, to identifying measurable changes in practice, policy, or partnership that better support Black families experiencing grief.

Day two: Healing, community power, and transforming those systems together

Saturday, October 17, 2026

Description: Healing For You-

Day two is an invitation to witness the power of healing and collective action in Black communities. Through compelling stories, creative expression, cultural wisdom, and lived experience, participants will explore what is possible when communities lead, voices are amplified, and healing becomes a catalyst for lasting change. Together, we will move from inspiration to action and from individual effort to collective impact.
