Losing a child is a devastating experience that no one should have to endure. The San Francisco Child Death Review Team works to develop ways to provide the surviving family and community members with resources to support them during this difficult time. This team has recently published a new pamphlet of resources that offer support and guidance for those navigating the complex journey of grief and loss.
CDRT was established under California Law to assist local agencies in identifying and reviewing unexpected child deaths and facilitating communication between agencies and organizations. For San Francisco City and County’s Child Death Review Team, Safe & Sound works with several agencies:
San Francisco’s CDRT recognized the need for families to have one, combined, easy to navigate source listing resources following a tragically fatal event. The newly published pamphlet collates the organizations within the City and County of San Francisco which provide practical or emotional services to support those navigating the difficult journey of losing a child. The pamphlet is designed to be shared with families by medical investigators, nurses, and hospitals.
Safe & Sound prepared the pamphlet for the CDRT to further the team’s role of supporting both the families, and the community of organizations providing these essential resources.
