Take Note: Joyal Mulheron and Casey Affleck on the State of Bereavement Care in the U.S.

Joyal Mulheron describes bereavement as an “invisible public health crisis”—and she’s working to address it. She founded and serves as executive director of Evermore, a non-profit aimed at improving the lives of bereaved families through research, policy, and education.

Academy Award-winning Actor Casey Affleck uses his celebrity to bring awareness to the plight of grieving families as a victims’ advocate. 

In this episode of WPSU’s Take Note, they talked with me about the health and economic impacts of grief, the need for research on bereavement, and their work to advocate for policy changes.
