Description
One in eleven children in the U.S. will experience the death of a parent or sibling by the age of 18” (Judi’s House, 2025). Beyond death loss, over 60% of adolescents and 64% of children have experienced at least one adverse childhood experience (ACE) such as natural disasters, abuse, or community violence (McLaughlin et al., 2013; CDC, 2024). In today’s media-driven world, children are additionally exposed to traumatic content through constant news and social media coverage, heightening feelings of distress and insecurity.
This interactive session is designed to equip professionals with practical tools and strategies to support children and adolescents navigating a variety of trauma types across developmental stages. Traumas to be addressed include, but are not limited to, natural disasters, manmade violence, race-based trauma, adverse media exposure, refugee trauma, sex trafficking, abuse (physical, sexual, emotional), and terrorism. Participants will explore the unique impacts these experiences have on childhood development and working memory, while learning trauma- and grief-informed preparation, processing, and intervention techniques.
Delivering information repetitively can be both essential and emotionally taxing. This session will address the physiological and emotional toll of these tasks and provide thanatologists with self-care and self-regulation strategies, such as grounding and mindful breathing, to maintain presence and resilience.
This webinar session will allow participants to explore trauma-specific bibliotherapy resources, multisensory play-based interventions, and creative therapeutic activities tailored to developmental needs, reinforcing evidence-based strategies while offering opportunities for reflection.
Attendees will leave with at least three reputable resources—including professional toolkits, online libraries, and caregiver-friendly platforms—to extend support beyond the clinical setting. Collectively, this session empowers thanatologists with confidence, communication skills, and holistic strategies to effectively guide children and families through life’s most challenging circumstances.
