Supporting Children in Grief: Practical Insights and Guidance

Children and teens experience grief in different ways, and the support they receive from adults can make an important difference as they navigate loss.

Join Bill Harder, Hospice Program Coordinator at Bow Valley Palliative, for a one-hour webinar exploring how children and teens experience grief and how adults can support them through both death-related and non-death losses.

This session will offer practical insights and guidance to help adults better understand children's grief, recognize their needs, and provide compassionate, age-appropriate support.

Topics will include:

• Understanding grief and how it affects children.

• How children grieve differently at various ages and stages of development.

• What grieving children need from the adults who care for and support them.

• The impact of loss and grief on children's emotions, behaviour, learning, and relationships.

• Practical do's and don'ts when supporting grieving children.

Who should attend?

This webinar is intended for parents, educators, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and anyone who interacts with or supports children and teens experiencing loss.
