Supporting Children & Families Following a Stigmatized Death

Description

The National Alliance for Children’s Grief will host our annual Fall Conference & Webcast on November 4, 2022. This popular event will this year feature Diane Vines, MA, LMFT-S, LPC-S, RPT-S and Tina Barrett EdD, LCPC. Both the speakers and topic will appeal to a diverse audience, including professionals and volunteers from, funeral service, hospice care, health care, education, mental health, child welfare, and bereavement support.

Grief is a natural response to a death. Stigmatized deaths can complicate grief experiences and as such create important considerations for those supporting them. Our speakers will explore ways we can support children grieving a suicide or homicide death as they integrate the losses into their lives.
