We support both professionals and families in the wake of sudden or unexpected death in childhood. We recognize how scarce the resource landscape is for those grieving and for the professionals who are called to work with them.

We support professionals via periodic conferences and seminars, organizational trainings, professional development resources, and consultative services. We most commonly train on themes related to key terms and definitions, do’s and don’ts, data trends, theoretical and practical approaches to mobilize the strengths of bereaved families, and understanding the full landscape of the investigatory process. We incorporate family voices into our work, and often include family members as panelists during trainings. We are able to tailor our content to the specific needs of your team.

The sudden and unexpected death of a child is one of the most devastating events that can befall a family. We provide a range of resources to help families navigate this difficult time, including commemoration offerings, helpful books and websites, guidance around supporting the needs of grieving children, tips for navigating an autopsy and investigation, and resource linkages for therapists and community supports.

We are committed to making our resources as accessible as possible to those that need them. No-cost virtual commemoration pages are available to families. Customizable stained-glass flowers are offered at-cost, but please contact us for sliding scale adjustment. 

Professional services are offered fee-for-service, and we are happy to strategize around your team’s budgetary considerations.

We are headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts but our services are available nationwide. For inquiries within Massachusetts, please visit www.magriefcenter.org.

We are not a crisis stabilization service and do not provide clinical services directly. If you are in need of an immediate response, you should go to your nearest emergency room.
