Service Corporation International recently announced that it is partnering with the National Alliance for Children’s Grief with a grant of $250,000 for the third consecutive year.
Funds will be used for programs and initiatives, including new grief support materials, for caregivers of children who have lost a loved one to substance abuse.
“We are committed to supporting the families who we serve, before, during and after the loss of a loved one. Coping with the loss of a loved one can be incredibly challenging emotionally, especially for children,” said Jay Waring, SCI’s chief operating officer. “We hope to provide a path of healing for grieving children through our partnership with NACG, who will extend the compassionate care we offer to our families every day.”
In addition to their partnership with the NACG, as part of their continued commitment to serving grieving families, Dignity Memorial locations also offer:
- The 24-hour Compassion Helpline which provides families access to 13 months of free confidential phone access to licensed professionals trained in grief counseling.
- The Dignity Memorial Guidance Series, a complimentary suite of grief materials featuring insights from renowned grief experts. This extensive collection of booklets, brochures, and online resources offers professional advice and compassionate guidance to help families understand and process the complex emotions of grief.
