Through the Flip the Script campaign, both organizations aim to transform the way people understand and approach childhood pain. The campaign encourages everyone – families, communities and professionals – to go beyond the usual expressions that brush away the pain and offer real support through presence, active listening and action.

The campaign, launched by NACG with support from organizations such as the Dougy Center, Eluna, Experience Camps and Judi’s House, seeks to replace hurtful or derogatory phrases with meaningful action. Children who have experienced grief emphasize the healing power of simply being present, actively listening, and respecting each person’s unique journey.

There are many ways families and organizations can support Valerie’s House this November:

• Refer families in need – Those who know of children experiencing loss are encouraged to connect them with Casa Valeriei.
• Participate in “Cocktails for a Cause” – On November 21, Valerie’s House Pensacola will host a fundraiser with cocktail and food tastings, music, contribution to the Cardinal Caring Tree. Proceeds will directly support local children’s grief services.
• Sponsor monthly dinners – As part of Family Support Nights, Valerie’s House hosts regular group dinners. Community members and businesses can help by covering the costs of these gatherings or organizing fundraisers.
• Attend “Michael Jackson – A thrilling tribute” at the Saenger Theater on November 23. Proceeds from the evening’s entertainment will benefit the Valerie House of Pensacola.
