National Children’s Grief Awareness Month – Valerie’s House

November marks National Children’s Grief Awareness Month—a time to bring awareness to the challenges faced by children experiencing loss. At Valerie’s House, we are committed to walking alongside grieving kids in Southwest Florida, ensuring they receive the understanding and compassion they deserve.

Why It Matters:

Did you know the number of grieving children in our community could fill Hertz Arena four times over? This startling fact highlights the importance of coming together as a community to support kids facing grief. By raising awareness and providing resources, we can help ensure no child feels alone in their grief.

Join Our Mission:

Valerie’s House invites you to join Angela Melvin, our Founder & CEO, as she shares why supporting grieving children is essential for our community’s future. Throughout November, we will be sharing impactful tips and resources from the National Alliance for Children’s Grief on our social media platforms.

Follow Along:

Stay connected with us on social media to learn practical ways to support grieving children and help spread the message. Together, we can #FlipTheScript and build a compassionate community.
