There is no single timeline for grief, and every child's experience is different.
A no-cost initial appointment gives you the opportunity to talk with Amber about what’s happening for your child, their individual needs and how the I Am Program could support them.

If you’re a caregiver
“You are making a good choice. Amber will help you express your feelings, show you ways to talk about grief, and she will really care about you. I can now express my feelings and can now say my Pop’s name, which was too hard before.”
