DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES
MEDICAL EXAMINER DIVISION
Family Service Counselor Grant
In an effort to provide a full range of family support services, the Oakland County Medical
Examiner's Office has partnered with the Transplantation Society of Michigan (TSM) in a grant-
funded pilot project. This partnership has increased the overall effectiveness of the Medical
Examiner's Office and fills a clear service void by providing comprehensive family support
services in an innovative fashion to the public. This grant funds three (3) special revenue Family
Service Counselor positions.
These positions provide a range of family support services with a focused intent to ease the
transition of family members and others who are confronted with the trauma of the sudden and
typically unexpected death of a loved one. Services include bereavement counseling, assistance
with coordination of funeral service activity, guidance to indigent families for public interment,
facilitation of tissue/organ donation, participation on the statutorily mandated Child Death
Review Team, liaison with various public and private agencies, and data collection activity.
The Transplantation Society of Michigan has granted the Medical Examiner Division funding in
an amount not to exceed $99,910 to cover the salary and fringe benefit costs for three (3) Family
Service Counselor positions for the period January 1, 2001, through September 30, 2001. This is
the second year of grant funding from the Transplantation Society of Michigan for this activity.
