AbstractA panel of multidisciplinary experts in the field of emergency services was convened by the National Association of Social Workers in 1999 to develop Bereavement Practice Guidelines. Funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, Maternal and Child Health Bureau, this paper discusses the best practices in supporting the family and staff when a child dies suddenly in the Emergency Department. Critical stages ranging from preparation to follow-up are discussed that help to enhance the quality of care provided to the family. A final stage addresses the support needs of staff.
