SUMMARY:Introduction to Grief Support Series | Attachment Theory and the Enduring Impact on Grief
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. \nAttachment Theory offers profound insights into how individuals form and maintain emotional bonds\, regulate their emotions\, and adapt to change throughout their lives. From birth\, our attachment style is formed within the context of relationships and influences our sense of self\, identity\, and values. When experiencing grief and loss\, our attachment style directly impacts how we grieve and relate to others. Throughout this presentation we will discuss attachment styles across the lifespan\, how those styles can impact grief reactions\, attachment theory’s role in healing\, and strategies and interventions to navigate grief within the framework of attachment theory. \nThis playback is available to active NACG members only.  \n \nMembers must be logged into the member portal to access the playback.

SUMMARY:Data and Evaluation Series Training #6: Ethical Practices in Evaluation
DESCRIPTION:Given limited resources and stretched capacity\, data collection procedures and program evaluation strategies at the individual program level often fall short in terms of identifying gaps in service\, areas for growth\, and program impact. Today\, philanthropic giving demands a quantifiable return on investment in exchange for donations and grants. Combining nearly 20 years of experience in designing bereavement-focused evaluation protocols with the power of the CBEM\, with philanthropic support provided by the New York Life Foundation and in collaboration with the National Alliance for Children’s Grief (NACG)\, Judi’s House/JAG Institute offered a series of free basic trainings in 2022-23 to share best practices in data collection and program evaluation. \nIn 2024-2027\, JH/JAG will continue to support the field in growing their capacity for evaluation and data analysis. In this sixth workshop on Ethical Practices in Evaluation\, participants will review the purpose of evaluation\, learn about ethics in evaluation practice and research\, and learn to map evaluation questions to evaluation surveys and measures. \nThe training structure includes a welcome/introduction\, and for each objective:  content\, polls\, and examples. The presenters will utilize polls and reflections to engage participants in activities focused on the evaluation content and to orient participants to how they can apply learnings in their organization. Time will be allocated at the end of the session to review each of the three objectives\, discuss plans for application of learnings\, and answer participant questions. \n\n \n  \nThis session is a continuation of the Data and Evaluation Training Series.

SUMMARY:CBEM Key Topic Report 2024: The Relationship between Childhood Bereavement and Household Income
DESCRIPTION:The Childhood Bereavement Estimation Model (CBEM) developed by Judi’s House/JAG Institute approximates rates of U.S. children who will experience the death of a parent or sibling by the time they reach adulthood. Each year\, Judi’s House releases standard estimates of childhood bereavement rates in the U.S. and all 50 states\, as well as a CBEM Key Topic Report exploring factor of interest\, such as geography\, cause of death\, race/ethnicity. This webinar reviews the 2024 CBEM Key Topic Report examining the relationship between childhood bereavement and household income in the United States. Income is a critical social determinant of health that is associated with a range of outcomes\, including early mortality. Overall\, findings from CBEM analyses show that lower income is powerfully associated with higher childhood bereavement rates. In the vast majority of U.S. states\, children in the lowest income counties had the highest bereavement rates\, and the magnitude of the difference was typically substantial. \nDuring this webinar\, the presenters will review the process employed to create income categories in each state\, describe the methodology for the analyses\, and summarize the results across the 50 states. Implications of the findings for families\, community organizations\, advocates\, and policymakers will be explored along with recommendations for transformational change. \n\n \nDownload the slides →\n  \nBecome a NACG member today!
