National Alliance For Childrens Grief

Awareness and Field Advancement The NACG serves as the leader and conduit for national awareness and field advancement for the children's bereavement support field. The NACG provides national standards of practice for the children's bereavement support field, coordinates annual social media and on-line activities for Children's Grief Awareness Month in November, and compiles research and information regarding children's grief support for easy access to professionals and volunteers in the field. The NACG also provides a national database of organizations and programs providing children's bereavement support across the America, including grief centers, bereavement camps, support groups, individual and family counseling, and bereavement support.

NACG Membership Program The NACG offers a connection and community of professionals and volunteers providing counseling and support to bereaved children, teens and their families through our membership program. Annual fees are kept low, with membership opportunities ranging from $60 to $100 per year. In 2024, we continued our member networking opportunities with 110 member connection and networking calls for our members in an effort to offer peer support and with the goal to keep our field connected and supported. This past year we exceeded 1500 members and continue to see sustained growth as professionals from a variety of backgrounds, including funeral service, hospice, mental health, healthcare, faith communities and social service, join the movement to raise awarenss of the needs of bereaved children and to provide education and resources to anyone who supports them.
