Grief-informed & human-centered design

  • "I have had many trainings of many kinds over many years and I've never experienced anything close to the wisdom, and abilities to share it, that these two brilliant, remarkable women have. I am in deep gratitude for them and for what they have brought to NKOE."

    Staff at Nā Keiki O Emalia, Children and Family Bereavement Services, Maui, Hawaii

  • "Jessica Porte has provided services for the Children’s Program at Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. Our organization has a yearly alumni event. Jessica facilitated an experiential, grief-centered and counseling for our adolescents. Adolescents appeared to be engaged and enjoyed Jessica’s exercises. In addition, Jessica has also conducted a grief and bereavement training for my staff. It was immensely educational, insightful and Mrs. Porte made it relevant to our program. Mrs. Porte is extremely well-verse in her expertise, has an intensive background experience in grief and is very professional at all times. We will continue to work with Mrs. Porte to our future alumni events and consult with her for any grief & bereavement needs."

    — Analia Hoyt, Manager of Children’s Program, Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation
