Description
Course Overview:
Grieving is never easy. When a child experiences loss, parents and caregivers often feel unsure about how to help. Supporting Children’s Grief is a compassionate, practical course designed to empower adults with the tools and confidence to support children through the grieving process in healthy, age-appropriate ways.
This course will help caregivers understand how grief manifests in children—emotionally, behaviorally, and developmentally—and provides strategies for nurturing emotional resilience at home. Whether your child has lost a family member, a pet, or gone through a major life transition like divorce or relocation, you’ll learn how to create a safe, open space for them to express their feelings and find healing no matter what their personality or attachment style is.
