Today is National Grief Awareness day, August 30th. Your friends at Jeff’s Place want you to know that we see you and we are here to hold space for you and your family. It is important that we break the silence surrounding grief, remove stigmas, and remind people that grief has no set timeline. 🫶🏻🫶🏻

At Jeff’s Place we value our interns. Over the past year, we have had the pleasure to welcome Kenzie and Joanna as student interns coming to us from Lesley University and Boston College School of Social Work. As some of you might know, there was a lot of change at Jeff’s Place this past year, and Joanna and Kenzie rode the wave with us. They were patient, brought fresh energy, creative ideas, and were dedicated to our mission. Your hard work and great energy did not go unnoticed.

Kenzie and Joanna, we can’t thank you enough and know that you are going to do great things! Wishing you the best from all of us at Jeff’s Place!

We are very excited to introduce and welcome our new Executive Director, Andrea Colliton! Andrea brings more than 22 years of experience dedicated to supporting children and families through some of life’s most challenging moments. For the past 12 years, she has served as Director of Family-Child Life Services at Tufts Medical Center. Her leadership experience is built upon her clinical background as a Certified Child Life Specialist, with an extensive background supporting children and families navigating serious illness, loss, and end-of-life care.

Andrea is also a passionate educator and has served for more than eight years as an adjunct faculty member at Boston University’s Wheelock College of Education and Human Development. Her teaching has focused on supporting children and families in healthcare, working with parents, lifespan development, the meaning and development of play, and child and adolescent mental health. Currently completing her Doctor of Education in Leadership, Andrea is thrilled to join Jeff’s Place as Executive Director. This role brings together two areas that have shaped her career: a deep commitment to children and families and a passion for compassionate, mission-driven leadership. Andrea is looking forward to working alongside the Jeff’s Place community to build upon its meaningful work, foster hope and healing, and advance its vision that no one should grieve alone.

Please join us in giving her a warm welcome! We hope you get a chance to meet her in the coming months as we start our new program year. If you want to reach out to
Andrea directly, she can be contacted at:

On June 4th, more than 140 members of the Jeff’s Place community gathered to celebrate, remember, and support one another at our 15th Anniversary Spring Benefit.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, donors, volunteers, auction participants, storytellers, and guests, we raised more than $180,000 to help ensure that Jeff’s Place grief support services remain available at no cost to children, teens, young adults, and families.

A special thank you to David Brown for bringing such energy to the evening, and to the courageous Jeff’s Place family members who shared their stories and reminded us why this work matters.

To everyone who believes in a future where no one grieves alone: thank you. Your support makes healing and hope possible. 💙

We are thrilled to announce that Jeff’s Place Children’s Bereavement Center has been awarded a $75,000 grant from the Cummings Foundation!

This incredibly generous grant will provide $25,000 annually over the next three years, helping ensure consistent support for our mission of providing FREE grief support services to children, teens, and families in our community.

While the nonprofit landscape can be challenging and unpredictable, grief doesn't take a break, and neither do we. This sustained investment allows us to continue showing up for grieving families when they need us most.

Thank you, Cummings Foundation, for your trust in our work and your commitment to strengthening communities in Massachusetts. We are honored to be among this year's grant recipients.
