About Tu Nidito Children & Family Services
Tu Nidito Children & Family Services is a Tucson nonprofit and community resource serving children, teens, young adults, caregivers, and families in Southern Arizona. Its support services are for people impacted by a serious medical condition or a death. Tu Nidito's approach recognizes that grief can take many forms, and that each person's experience is different. The organization works to create a compassionate community where people can grieve, ask questions, express sadness, find moments of hope, and feel understood.
Tu Nidito provides support through individual and group services. One-on-one and group support are available for bereavement and for families facing a serious medical condition. The organization also offers referrals for people seeking help for themselves or someone else. Its services are provided at no cost to families, with community generosity helping make that possible. Support is available to children, teens, young adults, and families, with caregivers included in the organization's work.
The organization's role extends beyond direct support. Tu Nidito provides professional workshops, education and training, phone consultations, written grief resources, and community or school grief response support. These offerings are designed to help the wider community understand, accept, and respond to grief. Many programs and services are offered in both English and Spanish, creating additional ways for families and community partners to connect with information and care.
After almost 30 years in operation, Tu Nidito has developed a range of ways for people to participate in its mission. Individuals can seek support, make a referral, learn about grief, volunteer, donate, or attend an event. The organization's stated vision is a world in which no child, teen, young adult, or caregiver has to grieve alone. It also emphasizes belonging, with a goal of building a safe community where people can share their authentic selves and where different ideas, perspectives, and experiences contribute to stronger individuals and a stronger organization.
Tu Nidito is based in Tucson and serves the Southern Arizona community. Families and individuals can begin by requesting support or making a referral through the organization. Community members who want to contribute can learn about volunteer opportunities, donations, and events. Visitors can also explore grief resources, education and training, and community or school response services. Through these options, Tu Nidito connects people affected by serious medical conditions or death with support, information, and a community of care.
