This week on the IWD406 Podcast, we are privileged to share the incredible story of Laura Brazan, founder of the Flathead Valley Mentor Group and an advocate for the widely popular Grandparents Raising Grandchildren initiative and podcast. Listen on spotify.
Laura’s journey is one of unimaginable loss and extraordinary strength. From her career as a professional engraver for some of the world’s most famous individuals to facing personal tragedy—losing her son to a tragic police-involved shooting—Laura’s story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring.

- The origins and mission of the Flathead Valley Mentor Group to provide guidance and support to families and communities.
