Supporting Grieving Students Webinar

This free webinar is among a series of trainings designed to increase understanding of the grieving process, develop skills to support grieving individuals, improve communication, foster resilience, and help people find new meaning after a death. These webinars provide knowledge about how to offer emotional and practical support, navigate awkward conversations, and care for oneself and others during times of bereavement.

New Mexico is first in the nation for childhood bereavement, with 1 in 7 kids experiencing the death of a parent or sibling before graduating. This means that in addition to upholding their everyday responsibilities at school, students must navigate their grief while pursuing their education. Although grieving students often report struggles, schools are in a unique position to help.

Learning Outcomes:
Understand how children grieve differently than adults.
ID key differences between bereaved youth at various developmental stages.
Understand typical cultural responses to grief and learn alternative responses.
Ideas to support students immediately and in an ongoing manner.
