PARENTS PLEASE READ‼️

Week 1 of our Grief & Loss Program “UNSPOKEN” was deeper than I expected. 🖤

We started with getting to know our youth and breaking down what grief really is. Grief is not just death. Grief can be losing a relationship, losing a parent who is still alive, foster care, divorce, incarceration, friendships ending, unmet expectations, or grieving the family you wish you had.

And whew… the youth taught ME some things this week. 👀

1. Some youth genuinely feel like they are a burden to their parents.
2. They admitted they sometimes put expectations on their parents that they already know may not be realistic.
3. When a youth loses a parent, STOP stealing their moment by immediately saying, “Well, I didn’t grow up with my dad either.” Their pain does not need competition. Let them grieve THEIR loss.
4. We are passing down generational trauma and calling it “how I was raised.”
5. This generation has been taught that having feelings makes you weak. And that is dangerous.

This week’s homework: 🌳
Go down your family tree. Learn how your parents were raised. If you can, learn how your grandparents were raised too. Ask questions. Pay attention to the patterns. Some of the things happening in your family did not start with you.

Now, parents… this part is for us. 👇🏾

We are busy. I get it.
We have bills.
We have stress.
We have responsibilities our children may not understand.

BUT PLEASE schedule weekly check-ins with your children. 📅❤️

If you have to literally put them on the calendar, DO IT.

And when it is their time—SHUT UP AND LET THEM HAVE THEIR MOMENT.

Don’t turn their pain into your story.
Don’t minimize it because you “had it worse.”
Don’t tell them they have nothing to be stressed about because they’re young.

And we have GOT to stop saying, “Well, that’s how I was raised.”

Okay… and how did that make you feel?
What did it teach you?
What did you have to unlearn because of it?

Our trauma may explain us, but it does not give us permission to bleed all over our children. 🩸➡️❤️‍🩹

We are responsible for healing enough that our children do not have to recover from us.

Week 1. And the youth are already talking.
The question is… are we really listening? 👂🏾🖤

🚨 Pause for a second…

When was the last time you asked a child…

“Are you grieving something?”

Not…

“How’s school?”
“Did you clean your room?”
“What did you do today?”

Because the truth is…

Some kids are grieving a parent who chose drugs.
Some are grieving a parent who’s incarcerated.
Some are grieving divorce.
Some are grieving foster care.
Some are grieving abuse.
Some are grieving friendships that ended.
Some are grieving the childhood they never got to have.

💔 Grief isn’t always a funeral.

Sometimes it’s learning to live without the life you thought you deserved.

These are the conversations we avoid… and then wonder why our youth are angry, withdrawn, anxious, failing in school, or acting out.

❤️ That’s why Identity Outreach is offering a FREE Grief & Loss Program for youth ages 12–17.

No pretending.
No fake smiles.
Just real conversations, real situations, and real healing.

📍 5670 Caito Drive, Unit 160
Indianapolis, IN 46226

⏰ Registration closes Friday, July 24 at 5:00 PM EST.

If this reminds you of a child… don’t just like this post. Share it. You never know which family has been praying for something exactly like this.

💙 We are also accepting donations of:
🥤 Water
🍿 Chips & snacks
📓 Journals

🙌 Want to volunteer?

One conversation can change a child’s future. Let’s be the reason they know they’re not alone. 🖤

🚨 NOW ENROLLING! 🚨

💚 Sometimes grief doesn’t look like tears.
Sometimes it looks like anger.
Silence.
Shutting people out.
Grades dropping.
Smiling while hurting inside.

At Identity Outreach, we’re creating a safe space where youth can heal, be heard, and know they’re not alone.

Our young people participate in yoga each week 🧘🏽‍♀️

This isn’t just an activity it’s a tool for mental wellness 💙

Through yoga, youth are learning how to:

🧠 manage stress and anxiety
🌬️ regulate their breathing and emotions
💭 slow down and process what they feel
💪🏽 build confidence and self-awareness

We’re intentional about creating spaces that support both the mind and body. This is what real support looks like.
