Adam Stevens, RDT, (he/they), knows grief. He grew up in a family of five. A family that is now a family of one. Adam brings this deep knowing of grief to his work as the Program Manager for Bereavement and Mental Health Services at the Hetrick-Martin Institute (HMI), where he supports primarily BIPOC queer & trans youth in transforming grief & the pain of loss through creative arts therapy. 

We talk about:

  • How Adam came to work with grief & loss.
  • What Drama Therapy is. 
  • Adam's work at Hetrick-Martin Institute supporting LGBTQIA+ youth in being seen and heard in their grief. 
  • The collective losses the youth they work with experienced through the COVID pandemic.
  • The multi-faceted intersection of queer identity and grief.
  • How Adam's personal grief has changed through this work.
