Objectives: The
two-fold purpose of this workshop is 1) to offer school personnel
the most current academic understanding of how grief and trauma
impact children and teens and 2) to give workshop participants
understanding, and tools that will assist them in supporting
grieving students. The ideas and activities to be shared have
been proven effective in working with students individually,
in the classroom, or in groups. The morning session will provide
an overview of the grieving process in youth, strategies for breaking
bad news, and emotional first aid at the time of a crisis. The
entire afternoon will be interactive – experiencing and practicing “grief
work” in a small group setting.
