Krystal Brass is a multifaceted professional who resides in Las Vegas, Nevada with over 24 years of social work experience. Krystal is the Founder/President of I Care Community Development Corporation, a 501c3 nonprofit organization, that provides grief support to seniors, veterans, children and families struggling with their conflicting emotions through support groups and seminars. Krystal has over 21 years experience in hospice. As a former Director of Social Services, Krystal supported the Social Work, Spiritul and Bereavement Teams. Krystal is the owner and clinical director of Sh'ma Support Services, LLC- a conscientious, minority-owned faith-based mental health practice. 

Krystal's grief recovery journey started after experiencing a number of personal losses and hardships including but not limited to a strained relationship with a child, loss of a job, separation from an incarcerated sibling, and the loss of a family pet, Roscoe.  

"After the incarceration of one of my siblings, I can recall experiencing deep emotional pain and the desire to talk with others who could identify with my loss and validate my emotions. There were individuals who were not compassionate, understanding and seem to disconnect with my loss. In 2017, I felt the same way after the death of our family pet, Roscoe. In 2020, I experienced the devastating loss of my beloved mother. Do you find yourself defending your pain? Stop! Grief is a normal emotional reaction to a loss. Mourning is the outward expression/demonstration of the loss. Remember You Are Never Alone. What you are experiencing may be perfectly normal. Would you like someone to validate your grief, provide comfort and support? Do you want to learn how to validate your own grief? I'm here to help you in your grief recovery. Why? Because, I Care".
