Consider including a brief note as to why this work is so important to you and why you feel professionals ought to have the training and tools they need to best support grieving families. You can also include this brief text about NCUICD:
The National Center for Unexpected Infant & Child Death is dedicated to ensuring that all professionals responding to the death of a child or loss in pregnancy are equipped with the training, compassion, and knowledge needed to support families with dignity and care. They believe that the way professionals engage with grieving families during their most vulnerable moments profoundly shapes the healing journey that follows. In the wake of these tragedies, we also provide guidance and support to help professionals process their own experiences and continue their vital work. I encourage you to reach out to admin@ncuicd.org to discuss training for your team.
