Grief-Sensitive Initiative External Request Form
If you are already in contact with someone from New York Life you do NOT need to complete this form.
Thank you for your interest in learning more about the Grief-Sensitive Schools/Grief-Sensitive Schools+ Initiative. Please use this form to request a presentation from a New York Life GSSI Ambassador. By participating in New York Life's GSSI/GSSI+ Program, we hope that your community will strive to become more Grief-Sensitive. Each organization that receives this presentation and pledges to strive to be more Grief-Sensitive will receive a one-time $500 grant to support its efforts.

Criteria to Be a Grief-Sensitive Community:

Sharing information with your community about the Coalition to Support Grieving Students' materials at GrievingStudents.org

Reviewing relevant organizational policies and procedures to ensure they are Grief-Sensitive
