Jasmine Jones
Jasmine M. Jones is a service provider offering culturally responsive, healing-centered care that bridges personal experience with professional training. Through Wellness Management and Recovery Support, Jasmine supports individuals navigating grief, identity, and life transitions—especially Black and Brown youth and families impacted by trauma. She partners with participants to explore their emotional landscape, develop meaningful goals, and strengthen resilience through individualized wellness plans.
As a certified grief specialist through Northern Michigan University, Jasmine specializes in Individual Skill Development and Enhancement (ISDE) services by helping participants identify personal triggers, name the impact of past and present losses, and build concrete skills for emotional regulation, communication, and community connection. Her work is rooted in empowerment and shaped by her experience supporting her younger brother through adolescence after the loss of their mother—a journey that mirrors the lived realities of many youth she now supports.
Jasmine also integrates Employment-Related Skill Training by helping participants explore future-oriented goals, including educational aspirations and career readiness. She offers culturally attuned mentorship to Black and Brown youth.
Her services also meet the criteria for Non-traditional Healing Services, especially in spaces where culturally grounded support is often missing.
Jasmine uses narrative practices, creative reflection, and identity-affirming dialogue as interventions to foster emotional healing and growth. She co-authored The Most Forgotten with her brother, a book focused on the societal neglect of Black male youth and adults, further demonstrating her commitment to community-rooted healing.
In addition to her CCS service offerings, Jasmine is a lifetime-certified full-spectrum doula through Doulaing the Doula and a former breastfeeding peer counselor. Her doula work provides critical, culturally responsive care during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum—especially for Black mothers and birthing individuals navigating systemic inequities in maternal health. This work is informed by the profound loss of her infant son, Amir, and fuels her unwavering commitment to improving maternal and infant outcomes through advocacy, education, and support.
