Perinatal Bereavement Room Grant Proposal

Project Focus: Compassionate Care Design & Grant Development

This project focused on developing a grant proposal and design plan for a dedicated Perinatal Bereavement Room within a labor and delivery unit. The initiative aimed to create a private, trauma-informed healing environment for families experiencing pregnancy or infant loss.

The proposal incorporated input from multidisciplinary stakeholders, including nursing staff, chaplaincy, social work, and bereavement specialists, to ensure comprehensive support for families and caregivers. The project emphasized evidence-based design principles, such as lighting, sensory comfort, and spatial privacy, while also addressing staff resilience and compassionate care training.

This project highlighted my expertise in program development, funding strategy, and advocacy for family-centered, empathetic maternal care environments.
