Understanding and Supporting Child and Adolescent Grief
Often, experienced and developing clinicians find that supporting someone who is grieving can be overwhelming, confusing, and anxiety provoking. This course aims to make assessing, treating, and talking about grief understandable and reduce anxiety about difficult conversations. This course provides a fundamental overview of understanding grief in children and adolescents. Additionally, this course will provide concrete examples of techniques and tools that can be used for individual and group support in school-based settings. Finally, this course aims to support the clinician to feel more competent and comfortable with supporting others in grief and avoiding compassion fatigue.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the components of grief in childhood and adolescence through models of grief, developmental responses, and navigating difficult discussions about death.
- Design developmentally appropriate treatment planning through education, techniques, activities, and groups.
- Identify at least four interventions for use in treatment of grieving children and adolescents in group or individual format.
