Facilitator Training Registration

Our program transitioned from in-person to virtual in April of 2020 and we are incredibly grateful for the advanced technology that allowed us to continue serving children and families who are grieving. We reached many new families during this time throughout Texas and as far away as California! 

Our families, facilitators, and staff have truly missed the invaluable connection that comes with our traditional in-person programming and we are so excited to return to in-person groups! We will welcome families and facilitators to our in-person groups in Plano, Frisco, and Dallas starting the week of September 6th!

Our traditional memorial 5K is back on September 19th! Honor the memory of someone special - and help raise funds to ensure our program will be around for children who walk through our doors tomorrow - as we walk/run as part of the Plano Balloon Festival 5K. Register with Journey to set up a peer-to-peer fundraising page and ask your friends and family to support your effort. You'll receive a special Journey t-shirt, a memorial race bib with your person's picture on it, and a discount code to register with the Plano Balloon Festival.

"I felt like I needed to do something big in memory of my husband. Since his death, we had been living a life we never thought we would live; we might as well do something we never thought we could do! Now I felt like I could be "purposely grieving" by channeling my grief into something positive and bigger than myself. I ran the race with my husband's memory in my heart and his picture on my back."

-Jennifer
