Bring grief awareness to your community.
I'm Niki Humpherys, a certified grief educator, coach and Harper's mom. I can speak with schools, churches, workplaces, hospitals and hospice teams about grief, what to do when someone feels alone and how to help others.
Five ways I can help.
Every talk is shaped for your group and runs 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the format.
