Today we completed our Trauma and Grief class, and the women graduated after months of doing some incredibly hard work.

I wish I could share all the details. I wish I could adequately describe the vulnerability, courage, and honesty that filled the room. But the truth is, no amount of words could fully capture what it means to sit with people as they face their pain, tell their stories, and choose healing anyway.

There is something deeply humbling about being invited into someone’s hardest moments. To witness people as they unpack grief, confront trauma, and discover strength they didn’t know they had is an incredible privilege.

Tonight, 16 women graduated after doing the difficult work of looking inward, processing loss, challenging old beliefs, and learning new ways to move forward. They showed up week after week, even when the work was uncomfortable, emotional, and exhausting.

We couldn’t be more proud of each of them.

Healing isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about having the courage to keep showing up, one step at a time. Tonight, these women reminded us what resilience looks like, and we are honored to have walked alongside them on part of that journey.

Congratulations, graduates. Your stories matter, your growth matters, and your courage inspires us all. ❤️

Yesterday we walked into the prison to sit with women carrying grief that feels impossibly heavy. Statistics say 41% of women incarcerated will lose someone while behind bars — but grief is so much more than death alone.

Grief is the loss of freedom.
The loss of dreams.
The loss of normalcy, trust, connection, identity, and time that can never be returned.

Yesterday we simply offered space. A small space for honesty, tears, pain, and hope. Deep wounds were spoken out loud. Women shared heartbreak, fear, regret, and longing. Healing does not happen overnight, and pain does not disappear because we acknowledge it — but something begins to shift when people are finally allowed to be seen.

We want to thank the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry staff and leadership who opened the door for these conversations and allowed space for support and healing. It does not erase the hurt, but it begins the process of mending. Wounds may leave scars, but they do not have to stay open forever.

We are grateful to continue showing up, listening, and reminding people that even in broken places, healing is still possible.

Ps. Smiles in our pictures are because we are blessed to serve - we left with heavy hearts and tears of our own. It was heavy!!!

Share with any parents that may need support for the start of next year.

Last night our team walked into the prison carrying some of the hardest conversations — deep grief, pain, trauma, and su***de. These are not easy topics, and they are not easy nights. But somehow, every single time, we leave grateful for the experience.

Because we know this matters.We know these conversations need space.We know healing begins when people feel safe enough to speak honestly and realize they are not alone.

Watching women connect, support one another, cry, laugh, and simply be seen reminds us why community is so powerful. Healing doesn’t happen in silence. It happens in connection.

We are honored to sit in these spaces with these women and continue building a place where hard conversations can lead to hope, healing, and freedom.

Happy Birthday to one of the hearts behind A Place for Hannah — Kaylan Kelly. 💛

Kaylan serves as a board member, community supporter, and someone who consistently shows up with generosity and a willingness to help others. Whether she’s building events or encouraging the mission, her impact reaches farther than she probably even realizes.

We are so grateful for the time, energy, and heart she pours into our community and the women and families we serve.

Wishing you a year filled with joy, laughter, peace, and all the love you so freely give to others. Happy Birthday, Kaylan! 🎉

So grateful for the incredible generosity of Mirna’s Place for donating hygiene bags for women in need. 💜

These simple, practical items can make such a meaningful difference for women who are trying to rebuild, heal, and move forward.

We are thankful for community partners who don’t just talk about loving their community — they step out and truly love on people in tangible ways.

Thank you, Mirna’s Place, for caring for women in our community and reminding them they are seen, valued, and not forgotten.

Today we celebrate an incredible milestone for someone very special to our team. 🎓✨

Ava graduated today with her Master’s Degree in Social Work, and we could not be more proud of the woman, advocate, and future clinician she has become. During her time as an intern, she served with compassion, humility, and a genuine heart for people.

Ava has a way of making others feel seen, heard, and valued — and that kind of heart cannot be taught. We know she will go on to serve our community in powerful and meaningful ways, bringing hope and healing wherever she goes.

It has been such an honor to serve alongside her, watch her grow, and be a small part of the beginning of her journey. The future is brighter because of people like Ava.

Congratulations, Ava! We are cheering you on every step of the way. 💙

At A Place for Hannah, we believe healing starts when we stop asking, “What’s wrong with them?” and begin asking, “What happened to them?”

So often, society sees…The drugs.The charges.The behaviors.The mistakes.

But underneath so many of those actions is unresolved trauma, grief, abandonment, abuse, loss, shame, and pain that was never given a safe place to heal.

Many of the women we meet inside prison walls are not just carrying consequences — they are carrying years of hurt.

Trauma does not excuse harmful behavior, but understanding it helps create real change.

If we only punish the behavior without addressing the pain fueling it, the cycle continues.

Healing matters.Connection matters.Mental health matters.And every person deserves the opportunity to be seen as more than the worst thing they have ever done.

This is why we go in on nights like tonight…to begin the healing!
