SUMMARY:Exploring the Role of Social Media in Child and Adolescent Grief
DESCRIPTION:Social media is an integral part of almost everyone’s life today\, especially children and adolescents. This form of connection can digitally put them in contact with others who may share their thoughts and feelings when physical contact is not wanted or available. These connections can provide much-needed support for a child or adolescent who is grieving while allowing them the opportunity to maintain their privacy and anonymity if so desired. While the opportunity for connection can be helpful\, social media can also present challenges to children and adolescents who are grieving. The same anonymity that may allow for freer expression of thoughts and feelings may be used by others to manipulate\, bully\, or even extort children and adolescents. This webinar will share ways that social media can be used to support children and adolescents who are grieving\, some potential challenges in its use\, and ways social media can be used in the memorialization process. \n  \n\n \nDownload the slides here →\nBecome a NACG member today!
