SUMMARY:Using Fictional Characters to Help Children and Adolescents Who Are Grieving Live Interactive Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Reading about fictional characters’ grief and loss experiences can help children and adolescents deal with their own grief and loss. Many stories written for children and adolescents\, like the Harry Potter books\, are filled with loss and death. But literature\, like magic\, can open new worlds for people\, and show many possible ways to survive losses and challenges and even flourish beyond them. Using reading and storytelling to help improve a person’s mental health is often referred to as bibliotherapy. This session will present activities based on J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series to help children and adolescents deal with grief and loss\, as well as activities based on other books to help children who are grieving (including Everett Anderson’s Long Goodbye\, Charlotte’s Web\, Where the Red Fern Grows\, and The Hunger Games). The session’s goal is to give participants many practical individual and group activities\, including discussion questions\, worksheets\, and crafts\, that can help children who are grieving. \nThis playback is available to active NACG members only. \n \nMembers must be logged into the member portal to access the playback.
