Child Death or Illness - Help transition your employee’s return to work.

Crisis happens. Bring in an expert.

At a time when productivity and confidence may break down, Hope Works Here offers critical support to an employee in crisis. Hope Works Here will:

Educate and guide supervisors and managers to ensure employees receive timely, custom and consistent support.
Help employers to retain valued employees.
Reduce economic losses related to grief.
Cultivate company loyalty.
Maintain lower health care costs through prevention of physical/mental health symptoms.
Restore confidence for employees, managers and teams.

Resources

For the Employer: We thoughtfully assemble a customized communications toolkit that helps as early as sharing the news of a crisis internally/externally through the time that the affected employee is back at work.
For the Employee: We hand-pick and share resources specific to the child’s cause of death or medically complex condition.

Support

Support is provided to both the affected employee and their team by a transition coach* who is carefully selected based on the circumstances of each case. Each package includes three visits with the transition coach:

First visit, one-on-one with affected employee PRIOR to the employee’s return to work.
Second visit, transition coach meets with team at the workplace PRIOR to the employee’s return to work.
Third visit, one-on-one with affected employee AFTER employee returns to work.

*A transition coach is a clinical mental health professional specifically chosen by Faith’s Lodge who specializes in child loss and illness

Connecting With Others

Help your employee and their spouse/family find hope with a gift that never expires: a certificate for a stay at Faith’s Lodge. When they are ready, a long weekend at Faith’s Lodge connects them with others who are facing a similar diagnosis or loss.

The Hope Works Here process

is flexible to fit the needs of the employer and employee. We will help guide the employer and employee through scheduling the transition coach visits, connecting the employee with others and providing tailored resources. See Full Process
