Share Parents of Utah is committed to providing community support and training to medical professionals to encourage compassionate bereavement care. We offer in-service training to help establish bereavement protocol and also can help train staff to create hand and foot molds. If you are interested in having Share Parents of Utah help with in-service training for your medical staff, please email us at info@shareparentsofutah.org or call the Share helpline at (801) 272-5355.
In addition, we serve families in mortuaries, working very closely with many throughout Utah, as well as serve and support families personally in their homes.
All services and supplies are free of charge. Donations are always appreciated.
