Mission: Families Helping Families (FHF) was born to give people a new way to treat people grieving. When Jenna Druck died tragically in 1996, her father Dr. Ken Druck sought help to survive the grief. As a mental health professional, Dr. Druck consulted within his community of peers only to find no solace.

The expert model, based on a rigid understanding of grief and a dogmatic approach to 'recovery' did not work for him. Rather than resign himself to the status quo, Dr. Druck poured his energy and love for Jenna into the creation of The Jenna Druck Foundation and its innovative Families Helping Families program.

Rather than an expert model, FHF is a peer program. We realize that grief is an individual journey, with no right way and no 'cure.' There are generalities that may be applicable to an individual, but each person's journey is a result of their entire life, their existing relationships, and the relationship with the person they have lost - and that is absolutely unique.

FHF provides a network of peers for exploring the deeply personal experience of grief, in a supportive and empathetic environment. Sometimes, all one needs is to know that they are not alone in their grief, and there is a shoulder to lean on.

The activities of FHF are led by certified bereavement counselors who have personally experienced losses, and who strive to provide a safe and comforting environment for others to explore their own feelings towards loss, as well as allowing an opportunity to build the foundation of a new life - hence our motto that 'Hope Loves Company.'
