BUT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW. CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS WHO ARE GRIEVING OFTEN DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY NEED, EITHER. FORGET ABOUT ASKING FOR THAT HELP. THEIR LIVES HAVE BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN, AND, AT THE SAME TIME, SO HAVE THEIR FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS. THAT'S WHERE GERARD'S HOUSE COMES IN. WE KNOW HOW TO HELP. IN FACT, WHETHER A PARENT OR OTHER LOVED ONE HAS DIED, DISAPPEARED, BEEN INCARCERATED, DEPORTED OR SEPARATED BY BORDERS, WE ARE HERE FOR KIDS, TEENAGERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. OUR CORE SERVICE OF PEER GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS FOR YOUTH AGES 3-21 IS STRONGER THAN EVER, NOW EXPANDED WITH NEW PROGRAMS LIKE NUESTRA JORNADA AND THE SEMICOLON GROUP. THE 4 WEEKLY GROUPS GERARD'S HOUSE OFFERED IN 1997 HAVE NOW GROWN TO 20 WEEKLY GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS FOR YOUTH AND 5 WEEKLY GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS FOR ADULTS. 0 0 247174 272404 IN 2016, GERARD'S HOUSE CONDUCTED 473 GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP SESSIONS FOR GRIEVING CHILDREN AND YOUTH AGES 3-21 AND 130 SESSIONS FOR ADULTS. IN ALL, GERARD'S HOUSE SERVED MORE THAN 1000 PEOPLE. IN 2016-789 GRIEVING CHILDREN AND YOUTH AND 224 GRIEVING ADULTS. OF THE PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS, APPROXIMATELY 85% CAME FROM FAMILIES WHO ARE CLASSIFIED AS VERY LOW INCOME OR LOW/MODERATE INCOME IN THE CITY OF SANTA FE; 76% WERE HISPANIC, 18% ANGLO, 4% NATIVE AMERICAN AND 2% AFRICAN AMERICAN. MOST OF THESE GRIEVING CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS PARTICIPATED IN AN ONGOING GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP, EITHER AT THEIR SCHOOLS DURING THE SCHOOL DAY THROUGH THE BILINGUAL NUESTRA JORNADA PROGRAM, OR AT GERARD'S HOUSE AFTER SCHOOL. OTHERS RECEIVED ONE-ON-ONE GRIEF SUPPORT, OR WERE REACHED IN THEIR HOMES OR AT THE HOSPITAL THROUGH OUR STEPPING STONES MOBILE UNIT. DURING THE SUMMER, PARTICIPANTS ATTENDED SPECIAL PEER SUPPORT PROGRAMS FOR GRIEVING KIDS, INCLUDING CAMP RAINBOW, RAINBOW DAYS AND, MOVIE NIGHTS FORGRIEVING TEENAGERS. STILL OTHERS RECEIVED OUR CRISIS RESPONSE SERVICES WHEN THE DEATH OF A STUDENT OR TEACHER IMPACTED THEIR SCHOOLS. THE SEMICOLON GROUP, PROVIDED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE SKY CENTER, PROVIDES A PEER SUPPORT EXPERIENCE FOR TEENAGERS WHO HAVE ATTEMPTED OR CONTEMPLATED SUICIDE. ALL SERVICES WERE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE TO FAMILIES. NUESTRA JORNADA: IN RECENT YEARS, A KEY PLANNING PRIORITY HAS BEEN TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATION FOR SANTA FE'S MOST VULNERABLE AND TRAUMATIZED CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS SO THAT THEY CAN RECEIVE NURTURING, CARE AND REAL HELP AS THEY GRAPPLE WITH UNIMAGINABLE LOSSES. ONE OF THE WAYS WE ARE ACCOMPLISHING THIS IS THROUGH NUESTRA JORNADA, ("OUR JOURNEY") A GROUNDBREAKING PEER SUPPORT PROGRAM ADDRESSING GRIEF AND LOSS FOR CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS WHOSE FAMILIES HAVE COME FROM MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA. LAUNCHED IN THE FALL OF 2015 WITH 4 WEEKLY GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS, NUESTRA JORNADA EXPANDED TO 10 WEEKLY SUPPORT GROUPS IN 2016., NUESTRA JORNADA'S PROGRAM GOAL IS THAT CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS FIND HEALING THROUGH ACCEPTANCE AND PEER SUPPORT AFTER A LOVED ONE HAS DIED BY HOMICIDE, SUICIDE, ACCIDENT OR ILLNESS, OR WHEN FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN DEPORTED, INCARCERATED, KIDNAPPED, HAVE DISAPPEARED OR ARE SEPARATED BY BORDERS. WE HAVE SEEN THE DEEP IMPACT THIS ONGOING, WEEKLY PEER SUPPORT HAS HAD ON THE NUESTRA JORNADA PARTICIPANTS WHO ARE FROM THE SPANISH-SPEAKING IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY. MOST OF THESE STUDENTS HAVE NOT ONLY EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE LOSSES BUT TRAUMATIC, VIOLENT EVENTS IN THEIR YOUNG LIVES AS WELL. IN A DECEMBER 2016 SURVEY, NUESTRA JORNADA PARTICIPANTS WERE ASKED, "HOW MUCH HAS THIS GROUP HELPED YOU ALTOGETHER, OVERALL?" ON A SCALE OF 1-10, THE AVERAGE RESPONSE OF 119 PARTICIPANTS SURVEYED WAS 8.8. EVALUATION RESULTS: YOUTH PARTICIPANTS IN WEEKLY GRIEF CONNECTIONS GROUPS AT GERARD'S HOUSE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH OF A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND. HERE IS A SAMPLE OF THE EVALUATION RESULTS OF YOUTH AGES 7-21 WHO COMPLETED THE ANONYMOUSLY ADMINISTERED POST-SURVEY IN DECEMBER 2016.
