Become part of the solution

Tools for finding hope along the journey: Become part of the solution


Our broken hearts give us the gift of understanding and compassion...what can we do to make our own corner of the world a better, safer place? Who can we reach out to in memory of the lives lost in CT and our own loved ones? Please post your ideas and thoughts and share this with all FB friends. Let's do something good to honor all of them.

About the Artist

Tanya Lord was a special education teacher when Noah died. After his death she read The Institute of Medicine’s report To Err Is Human and realized that the errors responsible for her son’s death were not unique. This created a desire and determination to better understand and work towards improving health care. Currently she has completed a master’s degree in public health and a PhD in clinical and population health research and is completing a post-doctoral fellowship. Lord shares her personal and professional experiences in presentations and workshops for medical staff and students focusing on the importance of effective communication with patients before and after an error. She also is a co-founder of The Grief Toolbox (www.thegrieftoolbox.com), which offers tools to help those along the grief journey. Lord may be contacted at [email protected]
