Once I was trained and headed back to my own home State, I started my own program. On our very first group night, with 4 kids, in 2009 is when I was delighted to see that yes, the model did indeed work! Ten years later, it still gives me delight to see what our special place has given to bereaved kids, all thanks to Dougy Center.
