| “I feel personally and professionally enriched by my ASIP membership. Outside our field, there is little understanding of the work we do with bereaved parents. ASIP is the organization I turn to for assistance, emotional support, knowledge and skills. It is an organization made up of amazing professionals connected by their commitment to serving families.” |
