SUMMARY:Introduction to Grief Support Series | The Invisibility of Child Sibling Bereavement
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. \nDespite its significant occurrence\, sibling bereavement is the most understudied area of bereavement. This session will examine why the sibling relationship is so important\, the effects of sibling death across the different stages of childhood\, and interventions to help children who have had a sibling die. Also discussed will be how a child’s concept of death changes as the child grows\, the vital changes that occur in family dynamics after a child dies\, and the external factors that must be considered when working with children who have experienced sibling death. This session will also include an interactive component in which participants will examine case studies of actual children who have had a sibling die and discuss the efficacy of the care they received. \nThis playback is available to active NACG members only.  \n \nMembers must be logged into the member portal to access the playback.
