Children and Teens Grief Awareness Month (CGAM)

During November, we support schools through our CGAM #bethere campaign. The goal is to raise awareness for children's grief and show students how to #bethere for a grieving friend. We partner with schools to provide support through activities, t-shirts, posters, and other items. For more information contact karina@billysplace.me.
