So what is the MISS Foundation? 

The MISS Foundation is an international 501(c) 3 non-profit organization helping and healing families during and after the death of a child due to any cause, at any age.  The MISS Foundation's MISSion of C.A.R.E. is four-fold:  Counseling, Advocacy, Research, & Education.  We seek to create a more mindful and compassionate world for the bereaved.

·      Counseling:  We provide culturally competent counseling, an array of support services, and mental health care by highly specialized clinicians pro-bono and sliding scale to parents, siblings, grandparents, and community members facing bereavement after an infant or child death.

·      Advocacy:  We work toward more compassionate policies and laws for bereaved families and to facilitate a healing and healthy societal response to bereavement.

·      Research:  We conduct culturally sensitive research in order to add to the body of scientific knowledge around traumatic bereavement, publishing our research in top-tiered journals in the field.  Our hope is that these empirical studies will improve psychosocial care to the traumatically bereaved.

·      Education:  We provide education to bereaved families via support groups, mentorships, conferences, retreats, support groups, and educational materials. We also provide caregiver education for physicians, nurses, social workers, psychiatrists, and other professionals on evidence-based, patient-centered practice.
