United for Our BIPOC Children.
Equity in grief.
Bryce’s Treehouse is a grief-rooted, equity-centered initiative created in memory of Bryce Jackson, a vibrant 17-year-old whose life was tragically cut short by fentanyl poisoning. In the wake of his loss, we are committed to uplifting the overlooked truths of the fentanyl, opioid, and mental health crises—particularly their disproportionate impact on Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities.
Our Vision
We envision a future where all families—regardless of race, background, or zip code—have access to the mental health and substance use resources they need to thrive. A future where harm reduction is practiced with love and understanding, and where Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities are no longer disproportionately affected by overdose due to systemic neglect.
Our goal is to help shift the narrative: from one of blame and exclusion to one of care, education, equity, and effective public health solutions.
Founding Director
Founding Project Director, Kimberly Douglas, has over 20 years of experience in nonprofit and political advocacy, focusing on creating a more just and multiracial democracy. She’s dedicated her career to systemic change and works with organizations aligned with her values.
In June 2023, Kimberly’s 17-year-old son, Bryce, tragically passed away from fentanyl poisoning. Since then, she’s focused on mental health and substance use advocacy, while also finding ways to heal and prioritize her well-being. She’s committed to traveling, sharing her story, and maintaining a healthy mind, body, and spirit.
“I’m still learning how peace and pain can exist at the same time. What I do know is that I still hurt deeply knowing that my baby boy, Bryce, is no longer here with me/us — and yet I have to keep protecting my peace every single day just to make it through.”
— Kimberly Douglas
