We’re proud to celebrate Erin’s House Executive Director, Debbie Meyer, for receiving the prestigious Circle of Corydon Award! This honor recognizes her outstanding leadership on the national board of the NACG National Alliance for Children's Grief and her unwavering commitment to advancing grief support across Indiana.

Created by Former Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb, the Circle of Corydon is one of the state’s highest recognitions, jointly awarded by Indiana’s executive and legislative branches. It honors individuals who have made remarkable contributions that better our state and exemplify the spirit of Indiana’s founding leaders. The award was presented to Debbie by State Representative Phil GiaQuinta, recognizing the meaningful impact of her work both locally and statewide.

Debbie’s dedication continues to expand access to grief support for youth and families, strengthening our community through greater compassion and care. 💜
