HR 207 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A resolution to declare November 2025 as Children’s Grief Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

HR 207 is a symbolic resolution declaring November 2025 as Children’s Grief Awareness Month in Michigan. It directly affects all Michiganders by encouraging community recognition of children experiencing loss, particularly during the holiday season when grief may intensify. The resolution highlights that one in twelve U.S. children lose a parent or sibling before high school graduation and emphasizes the need for support to address isolation and long-term emotional impacts. It urges Michiganders to support grieving children, families, and the organizations providing grief care, without creating new laws or funding.
