Summary
The GriefWorks Summer Institute,"When Grief & Trauma Come to School" is a workshop
for counselors, school staff, and professionals who work with grieving children. Co-hosted by
the Washington School Counselors Association (WSCA), this workshop will offer 8 clock
hours. The registration fee of $150 will include:
- Two Books
Teen Talk, A Grief Support Group for Teenagers, and 8-week curriculum, and Our Story, a workbook for grieving children ($35 total value)

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 equip workshop
participants with 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.
