“Grief. The state of mind brought about when love, having lost to death, learns to breathe beside it.”

-Roger Rosenblatt

  • For Clinicians

    Junie’s Place Clinical Fellowship in Trauma- and Grief-Informed Care

    The Junie’s Place Fellowship supports clinicians who are passionate about working with families after the sudden loss of a child. This opportunity offers both professional development and the chance to give back in a meaningful way.

    Fellows receive:

    - Funding for training in evidence-based, trauma- and grief-informed therapies (e.g., EMDR, ACT-D, grief interventions)

    - Direct referrals to families in need

    - Connection to a peer network of like-minded providers

    - Support and supervision opportunities

    -Visibility as a mission-aligned clinician through our in-network directory

    Fellows agree to provide a set number of therapy sessions to Junie’s Place families. Clinicians maintain full autonomy in their clinical work and carry their own licensure and malpractice insurance.
