INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — She Moves Forward, led by founder and CEO Jan Mitchell, is transforming grief into empowerment for women, particularly in Black and brown communities, through grief wellness coaching.

The organization provides a safe space for women to rebuild their lives after loss, focusing on future planning and holistic health. Jan Mitchell, who founded the organization after losing her husband in 2017, aims to help women move beyond mere survival to thriving. Mitchell’s personal experience with loss inspired her to create resources that cater specifically to women in similar situations.

She Moves Forward Incorporated has developed books and resources, which have been donated to organizations like Indy Reads and Brooks Place.

The organization is also making strides in legislative advocacy with the development of Steven’s Law, aimed at supporting families with loved ones in the hospital or hospice care. Mitchell has engaged with legislators to push this initiative forward, and says that state Rep. Robin Shackleford was instrumental to advancing Steven’s Law.

In addition to legislative efforts, the organization has collaborated with Alzheimer’s groups to extend their impact.

Mitchell’s work has been recognized as beneficial to many women, providing them with the tools to manage stress and grief effectively.
