International Grief Institute was founded in 2017 with a mission to help organizations and individuals invest in community resilience. The iCare branch of grief support was launched in 2019.
What is the iCare philosophy?
iCare is founded on evidence-based modalities that tend to the emotional, physical and spiritual needs we all have after loss.

You can start an iCare chapter in any community, but only one loss type per community is allowed.
Can someone from outside the community join my chapter?
Yes. People are free to join any chapter they wish.
