Raising awareness of the impact of COVID-19 on bereaved children.

Bill 117 H.Res. 967, also known as the "Raising Awareness of the Impact of COVID-19 on Bereaved Children" resolution, was introduced in the US Congress to address the emotional and psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children who have lost a loved one. The resolution aims to raise awareness about the unique challenges faced by bereaved children during this difficult time.

The resolution highlights the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant number of deaths, leaving many children without a parent, grandparent, or other loved one. These children may be experiencing feelings of grief, loss, and isolation, which can have long-term effects on their mental health and well-being.

The resolution calls for increased support and resources for bereaved children, including access to counseling, therapy, and other mental health services. It also emphasizes the importance of providing education and training to caregivers, teachers, and other adults who work with bereaved children, so they can better understand and support their needs. Overall, Bill 117 H.Res. 967 seeks to bring attention to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on bereaved children and to advocate for policies and programs that can help support them during this challenging time.
