Research
Everyone’s journey after a baby, child, or young adult dies is different. But there is much to learn from the experiences of others. There remain many unknowns about how to provide the best support to someone after a child dies. We seek to fill these missing pieces of knowledge by developing and sharing cutting edge research.
Current Projects
Resource Mapping
We are working to identify where the gaps in services in the Chicagoland area are through mapping existing resources. We hope this work will support effort to create new program where it is needed most.
Centralized Referrals
We have partnered with NowPow to serve as a centralized source of information about pediatric bereavement resources in the Chicagoland area. We plan to learn more about the use of existing resources and their impact on people after a child dies.

The Illinois Child Bereavement Leave Act (CBLA) went into effect July 29, 2016. It gives parents up to 10 work days of unpaid leave when a child dies. The new law is based on the federal Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The same employers and employees covered by the federal law are covered by the new state law.
