Mission & Purpose

 

On Tuesdays We Wear Black is dedicated to supporting organizations and employers in addressing one of life’s most challenging and often overlooked experiences—grief.

Our specialized programs equip organizations with the tools to support employees facing loss; creating a workplace that fosters resilience, compassion, and understanding.

By emphasizing the importance of grief and helping manage post-loss responsibilities, we empower individuals to process their grief in a healthier, more sustainable way.

On Tuesdays We Wear Black is not just about emotional support; it’s about addressing the often unspoken, practical aspects of bereavement that can be overwhelming. We simplify the information around the legal and financial steps needed after a loss, ensuring employees have the resources they need when they need them the most.

With experience in clinical case management, grief coaching, and trauma support for both adults and children, we bring a thoughtful, multifaceted approach that helps organizations prioritize both employee well-being and operational continuity. By fostering an environment that values this understanding, we enable employers to connect with their teams in a deeper, more supportive way.

Our Mission

To educate and guide the bereaved and their support network, through the lens of compassion and understanding, to effectively navigate the challenges encountered during the realignment process that happens after loss.

 

Our Vision

We envision a world where every workplace recognizes the impact of grief, creating spaces where employees feel seen, supported, and equipped to navigate both the emotional and practical challenges of loss.
