Who We Are

Project660 was founded to educate healthcare professionals on facilitating pediatric traumatic death with compassion, presence, and intention. When Jessica Diefenbach’s son’s death was orchestrated beautifully, she realized she had never witnessed such care in a trauma bay, despite frequently working around trauma. This profound experience ignited her commitment to ensuring that no family endures loss without care, communication, love, and humanity.

Determined to legitimize and refine education for healthcare professionals, Jessica earned her doctorate specializing in pediatric traumatic death. Through academic achievement, personal insight, and evidence-based research, she developed simulation scenarios, workshops, and support groups to transform how death is approached in healthcare and to provide the traumatically bereaved with a safe, supportive space to heal.

Project660 is dedicated to fostering healing for both families and healthcare providers in life’s most challenging moments.
