Who Camille works with
Camille works with parents and families who have lost a child to suicide. Many of her clients are still caring for other children, working, and handling daily duties while they grieve.
How Camille works
Camille's work follows three principles. Remember keeps the child's life, story, and meaning at the center. Regulate supports parents through the emotional side of grief. Rebuild helps parents keep living while honoring the love they carry. She does not rush grief. Her role is to walk beside parents as they learn to carry their child's memory and keep living their own lives.
