Elizabeth Leon, Director of Family Support

In the depression that followed my son’s death, I was forced to examine my own brokenness and confront the holy mystery that, in the light of faith, we are invited to unite our deepest sufferings to the heart of Christ. In time, the darkness of grief led me to peace, purpose, and joy. Through my social work studies and trauma certification, I am able to walk wiIh families in their brokenness. I am honored to share the mission of Red Bird to bring hope and comfort to those suffering the loss of their beloved child.
