The Latest

Prevention wins, survivor stories, and the occasional strong opinion.

Beginning October 2026, The J.A.M.I.E. Group will launch a monthly blog to share updates on our mission, advocacy efforts, and community impact.

Each month, we'll provide a behind-the-scenes look at the work we're doing—from legislative advocacy and educational initiatives to conferences, speaking engagements, and community events. We'll also highlight upcoming opportunities to get involved, ways to support our mission, and stories from the survivors, families, and partners who make this work possible.

Whether you're following our journey or looking for ways to participate, our blog is a place to stay connected as we continue working to prevent what's preventable.
