SUMMARY:Introduction to Grief Support Series | The Kaleidoscope of Grief: Loss in Many Forms
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is part of an ongoing series that will provide a foundation of introductory information for anyone working with or providing support to children\, teens\, and families who may be grieving. This series is not progressive; sessions can be viewed in any order. \nTypically\, when we think about grief\, we associate it with loss due to a death. Yet\, we know that many children and teens struggle with complex issues such as housing insecurity\, out of home placement\, family members experiencing addiction\, out-of-home placement\, incarceration of a family member\, and a host of other challenging circumstances. While not related to a death\, each of these challenges is in fact a type of loss. Often these non-death losses and the grief that accompanies them go unrecognized by caring adults. In this workshop we will expand our view of grief to include death loss as well as the more ambiguous non-death losses that sometimes go unnoticed. Participants will leave with a greater understanding of the ways that children experience grief throughout their development\, the principles of grief-informed practice\, and tools to support children on their grief journey. \nThis playback is available to active NACG members only.  \n \nMembers must be logged into the member portal to access the playback.
