Dustin
Project exists today for a community in need…..
Through the generosity of Judy Garber and Lynn Jennings, Dustin Project began to serve the Seminole County community in 2002. Our mission is two-fold. First, we exist to accompany students through the grieving process. Second, we desire to provide training for individuals
who work with our community's youth so that they can be better equipped to help
the population they serve.
Students who have lost a friend, parent, sibling, or other significant relationship, receive services, at no personal cost, from a licensed or registered mental health professional. The Dustin
Project has provided over 300 hours of direct client counseling and has conducted
grief training seminars for over 200 adults who are in a position to assist students
who are grieving. Young people who otherwise would not have received any intervention have been spared the trauma of facing their grief alone. No other community mental health organization provides free, long-term intervention service to grieving young people.
Seven out of ten teens face loss before they reach adulthood. Their ability to navigate the grieving process will impact the remainder of their lives. The obligation to provide guidance, grace and support during these crucial moments in a young person's life cannot be ignored.
Please help Dustin Project meet the spiritual and mental health needs of our young people.
