The mission of the Grief Networking Alliance is to establish a network of lay and professional service providers who share information and resources with individuals, families and communities living with grief.
GNA’s goal is to create a collaborative platform for professionals to connect, build and establish trusting relationships, share expertise, and collectively provided essential support to each other and the border community, ultimately fostering a more compassionate, comprehensive and equitable approach to grief and end-of-life care.
We actively cultivate a culture of belonging where everyone feels valued and respected and has an opportunity to contribute, learn and share and be supported. We promote open dialogue, collaboration, and mutual respect, recognizing that diversity of thought and perspective is essential. We are dedicated to identifying and addressing systemic barriers to ensure equitable access to resources for all individuals.
