Trauma to Healing: Generational Grief Support for Black Families

Black youth and families in Saskatoon face deep experiences of grief, yet culturally relevant bereavement support remains limited and often inaccessible. This project addresses that gap by creating healing circles led by trained Black facilitators, offering culturally safe spaces where youth, parents, and elders can share their stories through dialogue, storytelling, and art-based activities. Over four sessions, the program strengthens emotional resilience, nurtures family connections, and provides wraparound community support, fostering meaningful, culturally grounded healing for Black and equity-deserving families.
