Alyssa Givens, C-GC
Alyssa Givens is a Certified Grief Counselor (AIHCP) and Family Care Consultant with 15 years inside hospice and healthcare — as a Hospice Liaison, Social Worker, Bereavement Coordinator, and Clinical Operations Director. She is President of the Heart of Hospice Foundation. During COVID she was the only social worker for 100 patients. She has also walked her own grandmother through hospice. She built the Family Protection Project because families deserve better than guesswork — and because in 15 years, she never met a family who didn't wish they had known sooner. This is sooner.
