Today we launched the Children’s Collaborative @CCHSNational with @GovCox of Utah and local partners. @NewYorkLife Foundation will be contributing $1 million to support efforts to identify bereaved youth and connect them with the resources they need and deserve.
In Utah, one in 15 kids will lose a parent or caregiver before turning 18 years old. We won’t let these children suffer alone.
Today @CCHSnational announced a new initiative in Utah to connect children who’ve lost a parent or caregiver with organizations and resources that will support them through their grief journey. Grateful for all the stakeholders who are helping with this effort.

At Glen Lake Elementary, recess is a mixed blessing, in part because their school has many kids with physical disabilities, but no adaptive playground equipment. That is until one 5th-grade class banded together to make sure their school had a playground for everyone.

As I smooshed my small sliver of soap into my new bar of soap this morning, I thought to myself, “I’ll never do this again and not think of @StephenKing.”

Ask your school to host a Kai’s Journey read-aloud before the end of the year! @NewYorkLife
GISD campuses are hosting Kai’s Journey Read-Alouds throughout the month of November in recognition of Children’s Grief Awareness Month. For more information, ask your school counselor or librarian, or visit: newyorklife.com/foundation/k… #YouMatter
Great conversation with Carol Cone about @NewYorkLife Foundation's new social justice focus.
Legacy companies are in it for the long run–especially when it comes to impact. With already successful social pillars, @NewYorkLife introduced a social justice pillar to address their stakeholders' growing needs. Listen here: carolconeonpurpose.com/podca…

Our thoughts are with our friends in Texas. You are not alone. ❤
For caregivers, it can be hard to help little ones understand and cope with the effects of violence, but limiting media exposure and making space for them to express big feelings are good places to start.

NYL decided to expand our bereavement leave policy 2 yrs ago allowing employees to define a loved one and use 6 mos to take leave. At our foundation, we have focused on this issue for 12 years; even as COVID subsides, the need to provide support for everyday grief will endure.
When I lost a pregnancy in early 2016, the idea of miscarriage leave never crossed my mind. Now, companies are rethinking all kinds of grief policies amid a pandemic that's put loss front and center. My column this week: wsj.com/articles/giving-work…
